Auto-Prune Account: Check this to have the account removed from the database after its lifetime expires.

|
Enforce login uniqueness: Check this to allow only a single instance of an account to be used at any one time. By default, this feature is enabled when creating a new guest account. If you want to allow multiple users to login with a single account, disable this enforcement by clearing the Enforce login uniqueness check box.

|
Activate Account Upon First Login: Checking this box delays the Account Expiration timer until a user logs into the account for the first time.

Account Lifetime: This setting defines how long an account remains on the security appliance before the account expires. Enter a number in the field and then select Minutes, Hours, or Days from the drop-down list. The default is 7 Days.

If Auto-Prune is enabled, the account is deleted when it expires. If the Auto-Prune check box is cleared, the account remains in the list of guest accounts with an Expired status, allowing easy reactivation.

Session Lifetime: Defines how long a guest login session remains active after it has been activated. Enter a number in the field and then select Minutes, Hours, or Days from the drop-down list.

|
Idle Timeout: Defines the maximum period of time when no traffic is passed on an activated guest services session. Exceeding the period defined by this setting expires the session, but the account itself remains active as long as the Account Lifetime hasn't expired.
