(Optional) Configuring the Session Timeout Interval for Users Authenticated Through the Built-in Portal Server

Context

When built-in Portal authentication is used for users and the device functions as a built-in Portal server, you can configure the session timeout interval for the users. The users are disconnected after the specified session timeout interval. To connect to the network again, the users need to be re-authenticated.

The session timeout interval for built-in Portal authentication users is calculated based on the device time. For example, if the session timeout interval is 6 hours and the device time is 2014-09-01 02:00:00 when a user was connected, the user should be disconnected at 2014-09-01 08:00:00. Therefore, ensure that the device time and time zone are correct after the session timeout interval is configured for users. If the device time is incorrect, users may fail to be connected or disconnected properly. You can run the display clock command to check the device time and the time zone.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run portal local-server timer session-timeout interval

    The session timeout interval is configured for users authenticated through the built-in Portal server.

    By default, the session timeout interval is 8 hours for users authenticated through the built-in Portal server.
