Product

Component

Control-M Managed File Transfer Enterprise

Applies to

Control-M Managed File Transfer Enterprise 9.0.20 and 9.0.19

Question

Can Control-M MFTE B2B support logging on with the same user multiple times?

You may have X unique files to retrieve and invoke X threads. This means that there could be X concurrent SFTP logins active.
The username is internal authenticated by LDAP.
You only use that username so you want to be able to login concurrently with the same username.

Answer

For FTP/SFTP, the maximum concurrent connections is 25 by default.

If you have Control-M 9.0.20 or later, you can change it by opening:

MFT Enterprise web site, choose Settings -> Hub Setting -> SFTP Settings

and change the value of "Maximum Concurrent Sessions" to whatever you need (e.g.: 100).

In previous versions, if you don't see this parameter in UI, you will have to modify the following 2 properties files. Those lines are find under $INSTALLPATH/cm/AFT/data directory

1. fts_config.properties -> ssh.max.connections (default: 25)

2. proxyConfig.properties -> param.ssh.max.connections (default: 25).

and then restart both the CTM agent and the MFTE gateway.
