SonicOS Enhanced 4.0 Administrator Guide
Select Enforce login uniqueness to prevent the same user name from being used to log into
the network from more than one location at a time. This setting applies to both local users and
RADIUS/LDAP users. However the login uniqueness setting does not apply to the default
administrator with the username admin.
Select Redirect users from HTTPS to HTTP on completion of login if you want users to be
connected to the network through your SonicWALL appliance via HTTP after logging in via
HTTPS. If you have a large number of users logging in via HTTPS, you may want to redirect
them to HTTP, because HTTPS consumes more system resources than HTTP. If you deselect
this option, you will see a warning dialog.
User Session Settings
The settings listed below apply to all users when authenticated through the SonicWALL.
• 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
5 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.
• 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 Status window displays the number of minutes the user has left in the login
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 Limited Administrators user 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
“Configuring Local Groups” on page 621 for
information on the Limited Administrators group.
• 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
