We have Fortinet firewall 200F

Can we increase socket connection timeout for specific clients OR for specific firewall rule ?

I want to increase socket idle timeout value only for TCP ports 1556, 13724, 13782

(no need for UDP ports, no firewall default socket value override adjustment required)

The document is still valid for your case.

Focus on the point #3. Create new service objects for your ports. In these service objects, define the port (TCP/xxx) and define the timeout as well (set session-ttl xxx).

Afterwards add these new services to the relevant firewall policies and the modified TTLS will apply only to matching traffic.
