Abstract
A method to limit active sessions connecting user access to a computer network is presented. First, a request to initiate a new user session in the computer network is authenticated. The authentication is operatively conducted within a single sign-on provider. A session quota is then determined through a session quota logic of the single sign-on provider with the session quota logic retrieving a stored session quota. Then the number of active sessions is compared with the determined session quota. The determined session quota is enforced though a session quota enforcement logic of the SSO provider.
