Chapter 30 Configuring Tunnel Groups, Group Policies, and Users
Group Policies
The time-range variable is the name of a set of access hours defined in global configuration mode using
the time-range command. The following example shows how to associate the group policy named
FirstGroup with a time-range policy called 824:
hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)# vpn-access-hours value 824
Step 2 Specify the number of simultaneous logins allowed for any user, using the vpn-simultaneous-logins
command in group-policy configuration mode.
hostname(config-group-policy)# vpn-simultaneous-logins integer
The default value is 3. The range is an integer in the range 0 through 2147483647. A group policy can
inherit this value from another group policy. Enter 0 to disable login and prevent user access. The
following example shows how to allow a maximum of 4 simultaneous logins for the group policy named
FirstGroup:
hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)# vpn-simultaneous-logins 4
hostname(config-group-policy)#
Note While the maximum limit for the number of simultaneous logins is very large, allowing several
could compromise security and affect performance.
Step 3 Configure the user timeout period by entering the vpn-idle-timeout command in group-policy
configuration mode or in username configuration mode:
hostname(config-group-policy)# vpn-idle-timeout {minutes | none}
hostname(config-group-policy)#
The minimum time is 1 minute, and the maximum time is 35791394 minutes. The default is 30 minutes.
If there is no communication activity on the connection in this period, the security appliance terminates
the connection.
A group policy can inherit this value from another group policy. To prevent inheriting a value, enter the
none keyword instead of specifying a number of minutes with this command. The none keyword also
permits an unlimited idle timeout period. It sets the idle timeout to a null value, thereby disallowing an
idle timeout.
The following example shows how to set a VPN idle timeout of 15 minutes for the group policy named
FirstGroup:
hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)# vpn-idle-timeout 15
hostname(config-group-policy)#
Step 4 Configure a maximum amount of time for VPN connections, using the vpn-session-timeout command
in group-policy configuration mode or in username configuration mode.
hostname(config-group-policy)# vpn-session-timeout {minutes | none}
hostname(config-group-policy)#
The minimum time is 1 minute, and the maximum time is 35791394 minutes. There is no default value.
At the end of this period of time, the security appliance terminates the connection.
A group policy can inherit this value from another group policy. To prevent inheriting a value, enter the
none keyword instead of specifying a number of minutes with this command. Specifying the none
keyword permits an unlimited session timeout period and sets session timeout with a null value, which
disallows a session timeout.
