Hi Ganesh,

The user will be logout from firewall authentication list based on the auth-timeout-type and auth-timout settings under config user setting.

If the type is ideal and timeout is 5 min, the user will be logout if there no traffic received from the client for 5 minute. Kindly refer the below document.

Also you can enable the keepalive feature through a global setting, After the login attempt, keepalive with the logout button will be displayed in the browser. Kindly refer the below document.
