Global User Settings

The settings listed below apply to all users when authenticated through the SonicWALL. To configure global user settings, expander the Users tab and click on the Settings tab. The following options are configured in the User Session Settings section:

•	Inactivity timeout (minutes): users can be logged out of the SonicWALL after a preconfigured inactivity time. Enter the number of minutes in this field. The default value is five minutes.

•	Enable login session limit: you can limit the time a user is logged into the SonicWALL by selecting the check box and typing the amount of time, in minutes, in the Login session limit (minutes) field. The default value is 30 minutes.

•	Login session timeout: defines how much time a user has to log in before the login page times out. If it times out, a message displays saying they must click before attempting to log in again.

•	Show user login status window with logout: causes a status window to display with a Log Out button during the user’s session. The user can click Log Out to log out of their session.

•	User's login status window refreshes every: determines how often the user’s status display is updated.

•	Enable disconnected user detection: causes the SonicWALL to detect when a user’s connection is no longer valid and end the session.

•	User's login status window sends heartbeat every (seconds): sets the frequency of the heartbeat signal used to detect whether the user still has a valid connection

•	Allow unauthenticated VPN users to access DNS: allows unauthenticated users access to DNS servers across a VPN tunnel with authentication enforcement.
