SSO Authentication TimeOut

Hi, i use a Fortigate-VM: Operation Mode NAT Firmware Version v5.0,build0228 (GA Patch 4) I use SSO with Active Directory, users access to Internet with transapent authentication to AD using SSO. It works fine. The issue we have is when users leaves the office and not shut down windows, next day can not access to Internet until they reboot windows, after it works fine. I know that there is a time-out that need to reauthenticate, but i want to know if there is a solution for it !!!

dyla, I' m new to using AD on the Fortigates, but I think this is functioning " as designed." If the computer goes to sleep, the FSSO agent can' t verify that the user is still logged in and will de-authenticate it. If you logout and login, it should fix the problem. I don' t think you need a full reboot. There is a " dead entry timeout" setting in the FSSO agent on the AD server that determines how long before a non-responding computer will be de-authenticated. The default is 480 minutes (8 hours). You could changing it to 720 minutes (12 hours) to see if that helps.
