Limit concurrent sessions across all nodes [Updated in Security Center 1.3]

Use the glide.authenticate.limit.concurrent.sessions.across.all.nodes property with the Limit Concurrent Sessions plugin to manage the number of sessions tracked across all nodes.

When the Limit concurrent sessions plugin is active, the number of open sessions can be limited per user. Ensure that when this plugin is active that the (Glide authenticate limit concurrent sessions across all nodes) property is set to true so that the number of open sessions are tracked across all nodes instead of a single application node. If this property is set to false, multiple sessions can be open across multiple nodes, which increases the chances of session hijacking.
