Administrator Session Management

Only one Federation Manager administrative session can be active at a time. The single administrative session prevents simultaneous editing of federation objects if an administrator tries to establish a new session. When any new login attempt is made after an administrative session is established, Federation Manager displays a warning message.

The warning message tells the administrator that a session exists. If the administrator proceeds to log in using the same credentials, Federation Manager invalidates the existing session and any unsaved data is lost. After Federation Manager invalidates the first session, the administrator of the first session is logged out. If the administrator tries any configuration activity, Federation Manager redirects the administrator to the login dialog.

The next section describes what happens when one administrator attempts to log in using the same credentials as an already established administrator session.
