I read that the session timeout can be used to defines the re-authentications time for a device. Where can I set this in Radiator ?Thank YouMarkushttp://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3580.txt3.17.  Session-Timeout

   When sent along in an Access-Accept without a Termination-Action
   attribute or with a Termination-Action attribute set to Default, the
   Session-Timeout attribute specifies the maximum number of seconds of
   service provided prior to session termination.

   When sent in an Access-Accept along with a Termination-Action value
   of RADIUS-Request, the Session-Timeout attribute specifies the
   maximum number of seconds of service provided prior to re-
   authentication.  In this case, the Session-Timeout attribute is used
   to load the reAuthPeriod constant within the Reauthentication Timer
   state machine of 802.1X.  When sent with a Termination-Action value
   of RADIUS-Request, a Session-Timeout value of zero indicates the
   desire to perform another authentication (possibly of a different
   type) immediately after the first authentication has successfully
   completed.

   When sent in an Access-Challenge, this attribute represents the
   maximum number of seconds that an IEEE 802.1X Authenticator should
   wait for an EAP-Response before retransmitting.  In this case, the
   Session-Timeout attribute is used to load the suppTimeout constant
   within the backend state machine of IEEE 802.1X.
