Client side idle timeout

Hi,

 

Is it possible to get a tcp idle timeout because of user inactivity? I'm testing with the tcp idle timeout setting but the session is only getting ended whenever it takes longer for the server to respond than the timeout I've set - never from user inactivity, can come back hours later and its still going

 

regards Dan

    Hi Dan,

     

    did you sniffer the client-side traffic and is there really no traffic during user inactivity? Or did you see if the TCP-connection will be reset or not after the specified TCP idle timeout? I mean maybe the client and/or application supports some kind of keep-alive?

     

    Ciao Stefan :)

    Hi Stefan, not a bad idea - I've just been using the Network tab on Internet Explorer (its siebel so has to run on i.e.) Developer tools to monitor for browser traffic and nothing has shown up. I'll look to see if I can find anything through wire shark.
