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.
