2.6.3. Authentication Session Control

Fig. 92. Authentication Session Control Settings.

Authentication session control settings are for controlling the lifetimes of user authentication sessions. The Idle timeout setting specifies how long a user can be idle without generating any traffic before being terminated. The Session timeout setting specifies the maximum session lifetime.

In addition, the Router provides a mechanism for detecting whether a user has left unexpectedly by handshaking between JavaScript code in the log-off authentication page and the Router. The log-off page notifies the Router periodically to announce user existence. When this mechanism for user existence detection is enabled (Keep alive functionality), the Router will terminate a user if no notification is received from the log-off page on the user's computer within the number of minutes specified by the Keep alive interval setting.

NOTE: A zero value in the Idle timeout, Session timeout, or Keep alive interval setting disables the corresponding functionality effectively.

NOTE: The Log-Off window cannot not be shown on a Windows CE-based Pocket PC due to different JavaScript behavior of Pocket Explorer. To support Windows CE-based clients, you have to disable the keep-alive mechanism; otherwise the clients will be terminated unexpectedly.

2.6.4. Authentication Page Customization

2.6.4.1.Log-On, Authentication Success, and Authentication Failure Pages

Log-on, authentication success, and authentication failure authentication pages can be customized in a similar way. You can specify the Text align- ment style, page title (HTML title) and the Contents. The Contents setting accepts HTML tagging. Clicking the Preview link shows a test page for you to see the results.
