    Keycloak will hopefully have the configurations that you're wanting - please check out the 2023.4.1 release and see if it has the functionality you need.

    Sessions/Logins are now managed by Redhat Keycloak from 2023.4.1 - the session management will be delegated to this component.

    Thanks for this - we're looking at it - to take your points one by one:

    1. Simultaneous login
    We're looking at this and will check with our identity provider component team to see if it is something they support. It would need to be configurable because some users want to use multiple simultaneous windows/tabs e.g. when working on ACE and MQ at the same time for example.

    2. Idle session timeout value.

    Again, we're checking with the relevant team


    3. Improper session termination

    We looked at this one. If we close the browser window or tab and re-open then the session is maintained and the user is logged in without re-authenticating. If we close the browser down fully and restart it, then then user is prompted for their credentials.

    Can you please confirm which browser and if you closed the browser completely (i.e. stopped the browser process) or closed an individual window or tab?
