Session Lifetime: Defines how long a guest login session remains active after it has
been activated. By default, activation occurs the first time a guest user logs into an
account. The Session Lifetime cannot exceed the value set in the Account Lifetime.
This setting
overrides the session lifetime setting in the profile.
–
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. The Idle Timeout cannot exceed the value set in the Session Lifetime.
This setting
