What do you mean by auto-disconnect? Do you mean timeout a TCP session or maybe remove persistence record or something else? HTTP timeout is done on the client. Maybe you have authentication towards the application and you need that to timeout after a certain time?&nbsp;

The default TCP idle timeout is 300 secs, you can set that to whatever you want it to be. You can also use an iRule with IP::stats age to send a TCP reset after a period of time. But then the client will just re-send the same HTTP request on a new TCP session.
HTTP doesn't have a timeout per se - it is a request/response model so the timeout is on the client. Timeouts are often set on cookies or login sessions, is that what you mean?
I think you need to go back and work out in more detail what exactly it is that you want.

OK, for the TCP timeout look at the TCP profile that you have assigned to the virtual server and look at Local Traffic&gt;Profiles&gt;Protocol&gt;.
The relevant iRule would look something like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [IP::stats age] &gt; 50400 } {
        reset
    }
}

As I said before, I would be inclined to find out exactly what the customer wants first, I doubt it is this.
