Hello Community,
i've got a huge problem with guest user accouts session times on customers setup. The Fortigate (200F v6.4.8) presents the guest accounts and also a captive portal. The problem: All Endusers have to relogin every day (no matter what duration [1day, 1week, 1month or unlimited]).
My settings are:
config user group
edit "GWLAN-1MON"
set group-type guest
set authtimeout 43200
set auth-concurrent-override enable
set auth-concurrent-value 3
set expire-type first-successful-login
set expire 2678400
set multiple-guest-add enable
config guest
edit 1
set user-id "user0001"
set password ENC XXX
set expiration 86400
next
config user group
edit "GWLAN-1DAY"
set group-type guest
set auth-concurrent-override enable
set auth-concurrent-value 3
set expire-type first-successful-login
set expire 86400
set multiple-guest-add enable
config guest
edit 5
set user-id "user0007"
set password ENC XXX
set expiration 86400
next
config user group
edit "GWLAN-7DAYS"
set group-type guest
set authtimeout 10100
set auth-concurrent-override enable
set auth-concurrent-value 3
set expire-type first-successful-login
set expire 604800
set multiple-guest-add enable
config guest
edit 1
set user-id "user0103"
set password ENC XXX
set expiration 604800
config user setting
set auth-type http https
set auth-cert "Portal_Forti-1"
set auth-timeout 1440
set auth-portal-timeout 30
set per-policy-disclaimer enable
end
I try to play with the timeouts but nothing changes. The client devices have to relogin into captive portal every day... I've no idea
Thanks in advanced
Markus

Hello @MWoWGW ,
Thank you for your question. I have found this article : Technical Tip: Explanation of auth-timeout types for Firewall authentication users.
The following are suggestions that you could make to your configuration:
- Have you tried to change the 'set auth-timeout 1440 43200'?
- Is the keepalive enabled in the global setting?
Please monitor this configuration and let me know if this helps.
