The CA API Gateway providing user access control intermediary services must limit users to two concurrent sessions.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Network element management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize a network element. Limiting the number of current sessions per user is helpful in limiting risks related to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. This requirement addresses concurrent sessions for information system accounts and does not address concurrent sessions by single users via multiple system accounts. The maximum number of concurrent sessions must be the same as the requirements specified for the application for which it serves as intermediary. The CA API Gateway must have Global Policies that enable rate limits that throttle the number of concurrent sessions for Registered Services/APIs in accordance with organizational requirements.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
