How to disable multiple connections?

Question

I believe when SAML is used with appstream a user is limited to a single connection. If they log-in a second time while a previous connection is open the previous connection is disconnected. Is there any way to get this behavior (concurrent connections limited to 1 ) when embedding create-streaming-urls? When embedding create-streaming-urls the previous connection seems to remain open. I don't see any parameters that would facilitate this on the the create-streaming-url api method nor is there something like expire-connections.

Thanks, Jonah

Answer

AppStream sessions are not re-used or forcibly taken over should a user log in a second time. A new session is established on a new instance and old session still remains, as you indicated.

For a user to change devices/browsers/locations and retain the current session, they would need to disconnect first and reconnect within the [specified timeout period](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/appstream/expire-session.html) (admin-configurable) to connect to the same session and continue, you can also try to expire a session using AWS CLI command: [expire-session](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/appstream/expire-session.html) to expire a previous session.
