2.6.3. Authentication Session Control
Fig. 92. Authentication Session Control Settings.
Authentication session control settings are for controlling the lifetimes of
user authentication sessions. The Idle timeout setting specifies how long a
user can be idle without generating any traffic before being terminated. The
Session timeout setting specifies the maximum session lifetime.
In addition, the Router provides a mechanism for detecting whether a user
has left unexpectedly by handshaking between JavaScript code in the log-off
authentication page and the Router. The log-off page notifies the Router
periodically to announce user existence. When this mechanism for user
existence detection is enabled (Keep alive functionality), the Router will
terminate a user if no notification is received from the log-off page on the
user's computer within the number of minutes specified by the Keep alive
interval setting.
NOTE: A zero value in the Idle timeout, Session timeout, or Keep alive
interval setting disables the corresponding functionality effectively.
NOTE: The Log-Off window cannot not be shown on a Windows CE-based
Pocket PC due to different JavaScript behavior of Pocket Explorer. To
support Windows CE-based clients, you have to disable the keep-alive
mechanism; otherwise the clients will be terminated unexpectedly.
2.6.4. Authentication Page Customization
2.6.4.1. Log-On, Authentication Success, and
Authentication Failure Pages
Log-on, authentication success, and authentication failure authentication
pages can be customized in a similar way. You can specify the Text align-
ment style, page title (HTML title) and the Contents. The Contents setting
accepts HTML tagging. Clicking the Preview link shows a test page for you to
see the results.
