How a User Session Ends

A user session can end in one of three ways:

A user logs out

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

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.

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 Management guide.
