ssl VPN auth-timeout

You can refer the below document for the auth timeout setting in fortigate

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-auth-timeout-setting-for-SSL-VPN/ta-p/220586

To me it's impossible unless it's a bug. The auth-timer is countdown timer starting with the setting. We set longer than 8h and it always lower than that because it's counting down. So never goes beyond the initial value.

Hello 

Idle Timeout: The idle-timeout is period of time in seconds that the SSL VPN will wait before timing out.

Auth-Timeout : The auth-timeout is period of time in seconds that the SSL VPN will wait before re-authentication is enforced.
 So this issue is there in some ols versions, from 7.0.8 it is fixed.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

May I know if you have tested this from any other Forticlient version?
