Hi,

I've a Fortigate (version 7.2.11) that manage Hospitality access to internet with native Captive Portal features.

For internal users I've configured LDAP server and all works correctly, but login expire day by day; every day ldap users must relogin.

 

It's possibile to extend the expire timeout?

 

Thank's 

Maurizio

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to extend the expiry timeout for LDAP-authenticated users using FortiGate's native captive portal.

please refer the below document :

    Thanks' man, I've already configure this settings.

     

    <code>config user setting
    set auth-type http https
    set auth-cert "Fortinet_Factory"
    set auth-on-demand always
    set auth-timeout 1
    set auth-timeout-type hard-timeout
    end

     

    edit "Ldap"
    set authtimeout 43200
    set member "Centrale"
    config match
    edit 1
    set server-name "Centrale"
    set group-name "cn=wifi,ou=Group,o=Acme"
    next
    end

    </code>

     

    Now I've try to set Ldap auth-timoeout to 0.
