If a user is connected via GUI, when logging in with API user he is disconnected.

Hi,

I have the following scenario. I am logged in with the "admin" user, if I log in via API with a "userapi" user, the "admin" user who was logged in is dropped from the session. Is it possible to configure something so that users authenticated via API do not end the session of those who are already logged in?

I want to collect information about the status of my VPNs, in order to send this information to a Dashboard, but since the code would collect the information from time to time, it would get in the way when a user was logged in and the API user dropped him.

I tried to leave the user in a read-only group, but it still didn't work, even if the VPN user fails authentication, the user connected to the GUI is disconnected.

Help me.

    @ygorsm this discussion came up in the past a couple of times in different contexts.

    It's only possible to have one concurrent authenticated session from the same source IP, no matter if it's Web, SSO, SSL-VPN etc. The only exception is SSO through TSA, but this does not count here.

    Sorry that I have to be the bearer of bad news.

    What a shame, they could create something to allow this :/
