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

session. The user can set the remaining time to a smaller number of minutes by entering
the number and clicking the Update button.
If the user is a member of the SonicWALL Administrat

group, the User Login Status window has a Manage button the user can click to
automatically log into the SonicWALL appliance’s management interface. See “Disabling

• Enable disconnected user detection: Causes the SonicWALL to detect when a user’s
connection is no longer valid and end the session.
• Timeout on heartbeat from user's login status window (minutes): Sets the time needed
without a reply from the heartbeat before ending the user session.
