The reply attribute you want to use is Session-Timeout (possibly in 
conjunction with Idle-Timeout). To log a user off after 2 hours with an idle 
timeout of 10 minutes, you would use:

	Session-Timeout = 7200,
	Idle-Timeout = 600

Probably the best thing to do is use an AddToReply in the relevant AuthBy 
clause.
