I have a 200E, idle timeout for ssl vpn is the default of 300 seconds but it doesn't timeout end users at all. The only KB i can find is
https://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD48372
I followed the instructions, i have a windows 10 laptop with both [size="2"]SSDP and LLMNR disabled. Packet capture still grabs what they state as the multicast traffic causing the issue. "notice the traffic to multicast address 239.255.255.250"[/size]
[size="2"]Likewise i run the get vpn ssl and see the timeout decreasing but only for 30 seconds and then its reset to 299.[/size]
[size="2"]Am i on the right track that its multicast traffic that resets the timer? if i've disabled SSDP n LLMNR what is still sending multicast (no applications on here but forticlient) anyone have experienced?[/size]
[size="2"]thoughts are appreciated.[/size]
EDIT: is it because i'm using a my domain DNS IP addresses. is there a way around this? don't i need local dns for internal applications & AD auth?
This was confirmed with support. basically idle timeouts don't work due to the constant need for dns / domain traffic.
