Good morning, I needed help, I have two FW and a fortimanager, and I see that users remain connected more than the 8 hours defined in the FW. I've read some posts but to no avail.

auth-timeout is indeed the maximum session lifetime, after which the tunnel is torn down even if active. However, there is nothing stopping the client from immediately reconnecting, which raises the question: Are you claiming that you see a single, uninterrupted, session that lasts markedly longer than the set auth-timeout, or could it just be clients reconnecting?

Yes, I have a connection here that has been connected for 20 hours straight without interruption. But this reconnection thing is well seen, it is difficult to control it.
