Can anyone point me at some information on how the timeouts/reauthentication process works?
We have Windows laptops that are closed (sleep) for a few days and when opened up, show a "Web Authentication is disabled" screen, and they are unable to contact the domain for a login until a reboot.
I've played around a bit with the user-role "Reauthentication interval," the SSID "Station Ageout Time" and the AAA "User Idle Timeout" but I am just changing numbers at random hoping to see some change in behaviour.
I can't find anything that explains what they are, the GUI doesn't give any help on what the numbers mean at all. For example: "User Idle Timeout" - GUI says it is "the User Idle Timeout" and the manual says "The user idle timeout value for this profile."- wow, thanks guys, that really helps! (sarcasm)
I've looked through a few posts that talk about User versus Station, but none talk about interactions between the various numbers and the implications.
Some things imply that I am looking in the wrong spot, like the "Station Ageout Interval" defaults to 30 minutes, so I assume 5 days is probably not a good idea (or even allowed) but I am hoping for some good docs explaining how all the pieces fit together.
We have:
3600 Mobility controller with 6.3.1 sw
RADIUS authentication of Domain users through our Windows servers
