# Limit concurrent sessions across all nodes

# Limit concurrent sessions across all nodes {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
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.
The glide.authenticate.limit.concurrent.sessions.across.all.nodes system property is meant to be used with the Limit Concurrent Sessions plugin (com.glide.limit.concurrent.sessions) plugin. When this plugin is
installed and configured, the number of open sessions can be limited per user. When this property is set, the number of sessions will be tracked across all nodes instead of a single application nodes.

Ensure that the glide.authenticate.limit.concurrent.sessions.across.all.nodes sysem property is set to true when the Limit Concurrent Sessions plugin (com.glide.limit.concurrent.sessions)
plugin is active.

| Category | [Session management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jJnJ0Q0eYjnQREHSQvPPjA "This category looks at the security of the application state for a user. Sessions should be unique to each individual, unable to be guessed or shared, and invalidated after periods of inactivity or when not required. This includes factors such as cookie attributes for cookie-based sessions, session token generation, and storage and requirements for federated re-authentication.") |
| Security risk | * Severity score: 3.7 * CVSS score: Low * Security risk details: If this property is not set to true, multiple sessions can be open across multiple nodes, increasing the likelihood of a successful session hijacking. {#sc-limit-concurrent-sessions-across-all-nodes__ul_g1g_3sf_xwb} |
| Dependencies and prerequisites | None |
