(RADIATOR) Lenght of Timeout

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello AbdusSami -

This depends on the NAS equipment that is being used.

You should check with your vendor to verify what values are supported.

This is what the RFC says:

5.27.  Session-Timeout

    Description

       This Attribute sets the maximum number of seconds of service to be
       provided to the user before termination of the session or prompt.
       This Attribute is available to be sent by the server to the client
       in an Access-Accept or Access-Challenge.

    A summary of the Session-Timeout Attribute format is shown below.
    The fields are transmitted from left to right.

     0                   1                   2                   3

    Value

       The field is 4 octets, containing a 32-bit unsigned integer with
       the maximum number of seconds this user should be allowed to
