Configuring Authentication Timers

You can configure the following timers that apply to all users and RADIUS servers:

User Idle Timeout. The time, in minutes, that a client has to respond to the WFS709TP before it has to re-authenticate itself to gain access to the network. To prevent users from timing out, set the value in the field to 0.

Authentication Server Dead Time. The maximum period, in minutes, that the WFS709TP considers an unresponsive authentication server to be down. This timer only applies when two or more authentication servers are configured on the WFS709TP. If there is only one authentication server configured, the server is never considered down and all requests are sent to the server.

If one or more backup servers are configured and a server is unresponsive, it is marked as down for the dead time; subsequent requests are sent to the next server on the priority list for the duration of the dead time. If the server is responsive after the dead time has elapsed, it can take over servicing requests from a lower-priority server; if the server continues to be unresponsive, it is marked as down for the dead time.

Logon User Lifetime

These timers can be left at the default values for most implementations.

To set an authentication timer:

1.Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced > Security > AAA Servers page; click the General tab if it is not already selected.
