Specifying the Session Timeout Period
You can specify the amount of time that this session is valid. After the time has been exceeded, the
web-authenticated session is terminated. The RADIUS-supplied session timeout takes precedence over
the locally configured value.
To specify the timeout period for the global web-based proxy authentication sessions, perform this task
in privileged mode:

sessions:
Console> (enable)
set web-auth session-timeout 20
web-authentication session-timeout set to 20 seconds.
Console> (enable)
Specifying the Quiet Period
When the authenticator cannot authenticate the host, it remains idle for a set period of time and then tries
again. The idle time is determined by the quiet-period value. The default is 60 seconds. You may set the
seconds
value from 0 to 65535 seconds.
