Configuring the Web portal Web-based AAA session timeout
period
When a client that has connected through Web Portal Web-based AAA enters standby or hibernation mode,
WSS Software may place the client’s Web Portal Web-based AAA session in the Deassociated state.
A Web Portal Web-based AAA session can be placed in the Deassociated state under the following
circumstances:
• The client has been idle for the User idle-timeout period, which can happen when the client is in standby
or hibernation mode
• The client explicitly deassociates from the AP by sending an 802.11 disassociate message
• The AP handling the client's session appears to be inoperative from the WSS
When a Web Portal Web-based AAA session enters the Deassociated state, it stays in that state until one of the
following takes place:
• The client reappears on this AP or another AP managed by a WSS, at which time the Web Portal
Web-based AAA session enters the Active state.
• The Web Portal Web-based AAA session is terminated by an administrator.
• The Web Portal Web-based AAA session timeout period expires, then the Web Portal Web-based AAA
session is terminated automatically.
By default, the Web Portal Web-based AAA session timeout period is 5 seconds. You can optionally change
the length of the Web Portal Web-based AAA Session Timeout period. This can be useful if you want to allow
a client connecting through Web Portal Web-based AAA to enter standby or hibernation mode, then be able to
resume its session after waking up, without having to log in again.
To change the Web Portal Web-based AAA session timeout period, use the following command:
set service-profile name web-portal-session-timeout seconds
You can specify from 5 – 28,800 seconds. The default is 5 seconds. Note that the Web Portal Web-based AAA
session timeout period applies only to Web Portal Web-based AAA sessions already authenticated with a
username and password. For all other Web Portal Web-based AAA sessions, the default Web Portal
Web-based AAA session timeout period of 5 seconds is used.
