Configuration
on Routing and Remote Access
- Click Start,
point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Routing and Remote Access

-
From the left pane,
click on the Remote Access Policies
node.

-
Right click on
ISA Server
Default Policy
and click on
Properties

-
The
ISA Server Default Policy Properties
page will open, click on the
Edit
Profile button

-
The
Edit Dial-in Profile page will open,
under the
Dial-in Constraints, we have
two options

Minutes server can
remain idle before it is disconnected (Idle-Timeout
)
Minutes client can be
connected (Session-Timeout )
The first option is
as saying to Disconnect if idle
for the specified number of minutes, whereas
the second option is as
saying to restrict maximum
session to the specified number of minutes
We do not want to kick out a VPN Client if he
is working and not idle, what I want to enable is the
first option, if any VPN client becomes idle for
more than lets say 30 minutes, then I don't want him
to stay connected to my Network, in this way, I made
more resources available for other VPN Clients, for
example if I have a limited number of IP Addresses
that I can distribute to VPN Clients, then if these
idle users kept connected to my Network, and the Max
number of VPN Clients has been reached, then other
users won't be able to Dial-in unless these Idle
users get disconnected so that we have more free IPs
to others.
- So
Enable the option
Minutes server can
remain idle before it is disconnected (Idle-Timeout
)
and set the number of minutes you want that suites
your needs. Then click OK > OK > OK and we are done.

Conclusion
In this article we learned how to
disconnect Dialed-in VPN Clients that their sessions are idle
for a specific amount of time.
