To change the Web Portal WebAAA session timeout period, use the 
following command:

set service-profile name web-portal-session-timeout seconds

You can specify from 5 – 2,800 seconds. The default is 5 seconds. Note 
that the Web Portal WebAAA session timeout period applies only to Web 
Portal WebAAA sessions already authenticated with a username and 
password. For all other Web Portal WebAAA sessions, the default Web 
Portal WebAAA session timeout period of 5 seconds is used.

You can configure Web Portal WebAAA to allow a user to manually 
terminate his 

or her session. When this feature is enabled, after a Web 

Portal WebAAA user is successfully authenticated and redirected to 
the requested page, a pop-under window appears behind the user’s 
browser. The window contains a button labeled “End Session”. When 
the user clicks this button, a URL is requested that terminates the user 
session in the Mobility Domain.

The user’s logout request is sent to one of the WX switches in the 
Mobility Domain. It does not have to be the WX that the user was 
authenticated on, or the WX where the user session currently resides. The 
WX receiving the logout request determines which WX switch has the 
user session. If it is a local session, the session is terminated. If another 
WX switch in the Mobility Domain has the session, then it redirects the 
request to that WX.

This feature is useful for allowing Web Portal users a way to manually log 
out of the network, instead of waiting to be logged out automatically 
when the Web Portal WebAAA session timeout period expires.

To enable the Web Portal logout functionality, use the following 
command:

set service-profile profile-name web-portal-logout mode 
{enable | disable}

To specify a Web Portal logout URL, use the following command:

set service-profile profile-name web-portal-logout 
logout-url url
