19 years agoIs there a way to set a timeout for idle sessions through the F5?
We've recently implemented the F5's and a request has come down asking for a set timeout variable on idle sessions. I'm wondering if anyone has a similar iRule in place that may provide some input? ...

19 years agoDoh... It's all about the details.
We have a pool of servers behind a single VIP which users hit on HTTPS connections. While the connections are mostly internal, monitoring and dropping all idle connections will likely be the requested method. The problems arise in the evenings when users leave work and fail to logout of the application. As a result it's creating some issues with backups and other batch processes. To rid ourselves of the problem it's been requested to drop any conections which sit idle for X amount of time after which the user will be redirected to an HTTP page telling them their session has expired. Some sort of warning system prior to dropping the connection would likely be well served too.
Thanks for your help.
