Hi
umesh ..
I guess it all depends on the type of database server you are using ... typically, upto 20 concurrent user .. without any significant drop in the performance..

wow, only 20?

are you sure? what kind of server do you have?

or do you mean the login action, not concurrent users logged in to liferay and browsing pages?

Hi,

I meant hardware as well...

Do you refer to "MaxActive" in Resource?
I do not think this is the maximum number of concurrent users in the portal. This is the number of concurrent connections to the database in pool. You can easily set this to a higher number. But watch your mysqld-settings...

Liferay members said that they have a university with tens of thousands users using the portal. So I am pretty sure that it is not 20 users at a time. It is probably limited by hardware, I don't think there is a software limit (may be licenses to the db and such stuff).

Hi,

as Roman already said, the number of concurrent useres depends on your hardware. A 2 socket quadcore xeon will handle more users than a single-cpu core2duo.

If you don't want to limit the connections to your database you may decrease the number from 20 to 0 (unlimited).
