Specifying the Warning Period

About this task

The warning period represents the number of minutes before a session limit or idle limit is reached when users are warned they are about to be disconnected or logged off. For example, if the warning period is set to 2, users will be warned 2 minutes before the session limit or the idle limit is reached.

The warning period must be less than the session limit and idle limit settings. This feature is disabled by default.
