Hi, Can we limit the maximum number of connections to an IDS instance. With following configuration, connections can be created: NETTYPE ipcshm,5,50,CPU NETTYPE tlitcp,5,50,NET regards, Kamran

Thanks Obnoxio. So what is the purpose of definig these numbers (5 & 50) in: NETTYPE ipcshm,5,50,CPUif are not defining them as limits?

The NETTYPE settings do not limit the number of concurrent connections. OK - for the shared memory connections - ipcshm - it does, so here you have allowed up to 250 shared memory connections. However, networked and other stream type connections (tlitcp, soctcp, strpip, etc.) are not limited by the NETTYPE which just acts to allocate initial resources which expand dynamically as needed.

IDS 11.50 allows you to limit number of uses session by setting an onconfig parameter LIMITNUMSESSIONS Please check http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v115/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.a dref.doc/ids_adr_1060.htm for details. You can dynamically changes this parameter using onmode -wf or onmode -wm thanx Prasad
