Question

Can captive portal expiration be set to several days?

I would like to allow the users in our company to connect to the guest network with their phones, but having to enter the user / password every day is a pain.

I saw that there are a couple of variables that can be set, specially auth-timeout (here the document) and be set to a value of 24h.

Is there any way to set it to a value higher than this? The 1440 would allow a user to relogin only after the weekend, but if possible I'd like to set it something like 96h.

    Ok thanks for your answer, we aren't prepared yet to make the jump to the 5.4, but I'll remember this to make the changes when we're there.
