Allow multiple REST sessions per user

We wrote some checks for an external event management system that query several parameters and events from the storage arrays through REST API. As we have multiple checks and a clustered event management infrastructure we sometimes have 2 or more checks running in parallel (running on different servers).

As the REST API only allows 1 session per user at a time we unintentionally invalidate session tokens because of some duplicate logins with the same user coming from different checks. This results in wrong or only partially correct output from the running checks.

Therefore I would like to ask about an increase of the maximum concurrent logins from 1 to maybe a configurable value.

Thanks.

    Thank you for submitting this Idea. We fixed this in 8.4.2.

    Prior to this, you could only have one authentication token per user. From 8.4.2 onward, a user can have as many authentication tokens as they want because the authentication data is encoded in the token and doesn't need to be remembered by the server.
