Apacheds - max number of connections

[Lee Chin Kong <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

How to set the maximum number of connections for apacheds?
For example, restrict to have only 5 jxplorers connect to apacheds at any
point in time.

Thanks,
L

Yes, probably. We can use a filter in MINA to do that, then it will just 
be a matter of managing a configuration element to limit the incomming 
connection. All in all, that should not be a questions of days to 
implement such a feature. Much more hours.

This sounds like an interesting use case though for us don't you think
Emmanuel?  Lee I would add this as a feature JIRA.  This is definitely low
priority but it's an interesting case that arise on occasion.

Hmmm. Technically, I'm not sure you can do that straight away. But you 
can develop an interceptor to block any new request when you have 
created more than 5 sessions.

We didn't add any way to configure the underlaying network layer, 
otherwise we could have add a firewall filter to limit the client being 
able to connect to the server.

Last, not least, the best would probably to set the ACIs to allow only a 
set of users.
