If user access control intermediary services are provided, configure the BIG-IP Core as follows:
Configure the appropriate Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module to limit concurrent sessions to the organization-defined number for virtual servers.
If the BIG-IP Core does not provide user access control intermediary services for virtual servers, this is not applicable.
When user access control intermediary services are provided, verify the BIG-IP Core limits the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number for virtual servers.
Review organizational Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to ensure there is an organization-defined threshold for the maximum number of concurrent session for each application the BIG-IP Core serves as intermediary.
Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers >> Virtual Servers List tab.
Select a Virtual Server from the list to verify that the connection limit is set.
Select "Advanced" for "Configuration".
Review the following under the "Configuration" section.
Verify that 'Connection Limit' is set to the organization-defined number of concurrent connections and not set to zero (0).
Verify that "Connection Rate Limit" is set to the organization-defined number of concurrent connections per second and not set to zero (0).
If the BIG-IP Core is not configured to limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number or is set to zero (0) for virtual servers, this is a finding.
