Auto-Prune Account: Check this to have the account removed from the database after
its lifetime expires.
–
Enforce login uniqueness: Check this to allow only a single instance of an account to
be used at any one time. By default, this feature is enabled when creating a new guest
account. If you want to allow multiple users to login with a single account, disable this
enforcement by clearing the Enforce login uniqueness checkbox.
–
Account Lifetime: This setting defines how long an account remains on the security
appliance before the account expires. If Auto-Prune is enabled, the account is deleted
when it expires. If the Auto-Prune checkbox is cleared, the account remains in the list
of guest accounts with an Expired status, allowing easy reactivation.
–
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. Alternatively, activation can occur at the time the account is created by
clearing the Activate account upon first login checkbox. The Session Lifetime
cannot exceed the value set in the Account Lifetime
.
–
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.
–
Comment: Any text can be entered as a comment in the Comment field.
