asking if you are sure you want to log out of ACS. Click OK.

administrative session. If you do not log out, the ACS web interface logs you out if your session remains
inactive for a configurable period of time, and does not save any unsubmitted configuration data. See
Configuring Session Idle Timeout, page 16-12 for configuring session idle timeout.
