Captive portal time out

[ganesh_karale]

Hi, we have enabled captive portal on the lan interface. 

Can captive portal time out when user logged out from computer or can we enable option to logout from the captive portal to user.

Please guide..

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.
