About User Authentication
User Guide 151
Edge, the clock starts on the session. After the specified interval,
the user must authenticate again or the Edge closes the session.
• Reset Idle Timer on Embedded Web Site Access – The Edge
will not disconnect a session when an idle time-out occurs if the
Login Status dialog box is on the desktop. Disable this check
box to override the Login Status dialog box.
• Automatic Session Termination – This is a global property
which applies to all sessions and which overrides all other
authentication options. It lets you clear the list of seat licenses
in use and make them available again. Enable this check box to
disconnect all sessions at the specified time in the drop-down
list.
Configuring MUVPN client settings
The MUVPN client settings apply to all MUVPN connections to the
Edge. To configure MUVPN client settings:
1 Use your browser to connect to the System Status page. From
the navigation bar, select Firebox Users > Settings.
The Settings page appears.
2 If necessary, use the scroll bar to scroll to the Firebox User
Common MUVPN Client Settings section.
3 You can lock the MUVPN client security policy (.wgx file) to
prevent a change to it. Select the Make the MUVPN client
security policy read-only check box.
4 The remote MUVPN computers can use a virtual adapter to get
network settings, an IP address, and WINS and DNS. You can set
the virtual adapter rule for your mobile users to:
Disabled
The mobile user does not use a virtual adapter to connect with
the MUVPN client.
Preferred
If the virtual adapter is in use or it is not available, the mobile
user does not use a virtual adapter to connect with the MUVPN
