Issue

  • When someone is logging into an account I want to invalidate the previous session. 

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0+

Resolution

  • With the following portal-ext property you can invalidate sessions, allowing only one user to be logged in to an account at a time: 
# Set the following to true if users are allowed to have simultaneous logins from different sessions. This property is not used unless the property "live.users.enabled" is set to true.

auth.simultaneous.logins=false

# Set this to true to enable tracking via Live Users.
# This property is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
live.users.enabled=true
