Description
What does the 'timeout' value in External Authentication configuration screens refer to?When you select System Status/Settings | External Authentication | WinAD (or SecurID, LDAP Config, Radius Config, Defender Config)Is the "Timeout" entry referring to individual users timeout?
If so, does this take precedence over the Global Setting for "Account Login Control | Session Inactivity Timeout"? -
Resolution
The "timeout" value on the External Authentication configuration dictates the maximum number of hours that an authenticated session can persist for users that authenticate against that source. Note, this is an absolute value from the time the session started. It is not related to inactivity
It takes precedence over the global setting "Account Login Control | Session Inactivity Timeout" (Default configuration for "Session Inactivity Timeout" is 2880 minutes; valid range is 10-2880 minutes).
