Parameter Description
Session
Resumption
Caches EAP-PEAP sessions on Policy Manager for reuse if the user/client reconnects to Policy
Manager within the session timeout interval.
Session
Timeout
Caches EAP-PEAP sessions on Policy Manager for reuse if the user/client reconnects to Policy
Manager within the session timeout interval. If session timeout value is set to 0, the cached
sessions are not purged.
Fast
Reconnect
Enable this check box to allow fast reconnect. When fast reconnect is enabled, the inner method
that happens inside the server authenticated outer tunnel is also bypassed. This makes the
process of re-authentication faster. For the fast reconnect to work, session resumption must be
enabled.
