    Using Aruba VIA with certificates to authenticate.  Having trouble finding the exact command to allow only one connection per certificate at a time.  That way more than one person can't use the same certificate or two devices can't use the same certificate.  Yes there are other controls in play to assure they don't.  Want to add a limit if possible.  6.5.4.13 Code.  Thank you.

    There are no controls on the Aruba side for VIA connections for the same user.  That is typically something you would limit on your radius server using radius accounting.

    Thank you for the response, however are are not using a radius.  We are using certificates and the controller determines if they are properly signed and also performs revocation checks.  Want to ensure that users (using certs and not login's) can only use that cert for a single VIA session at a time.

    I am not aware of a way to mandate that only a single session be used on the controller with the same username except for captive portal.

    It might be that we are not thinking the same, and I am not really the smartest apple on the tree.  We use username/password combo's but only to grab the via profile.  We are not using wireless at all.  The controller's purpose is to terminate VPN Tunnels using via.  Authentication method is certificates.  I want to limit one certificate per device so that two devices cannot authenticate at the same time using the same certificate.  Devices being Aruba VIA running on a Linux Workstation.  And thank you so much for looking at this for me.
