System::Session::set_maximum_sessions

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.0.0
Sets the maximum number of concurrent user sessions. A system could be attacked by creating an inordinate number of iControl user sessions, eventually bringing the iControl portal (or the system itself) to a crawl. If iControl is already supporting this number of user sessions, subsequent attempts to create a new user sessions are rejected with an error. If this limit is set to zero, the number of user sessions is unlimited. Only administrators can set this value.
