How a User Session Ends

A user session can end in one of three ways:

  1. A user logs out.

    A user can terminate his or her own session by logging out.

  2. The session timeouts expire.

    A user's session can expire because of configured session timeouts or policy-based response attributes, requiring the user to re-enter his or her credentials to begin a new session.

  3. A user is disabled.

    A System Manager can disable a user account, flushing the session account and preventing that user from re-authenticating. For more information, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.
