How to disable 2h timer when using Anyconnect VPN

pgaznavi8 — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 18:46:08 GMT

Hi,

I have been trying to find where the setting is to limit the time that someone can use VPN using AnyConnect on a firepower 2110 appliance. For some reason i cannot find it or locate it and i want to disable the time limit. When someone connect with VPN, it shows the connection will terminate in 2 hours. Can someone please point me to the right direction on that one and what setting i need to change to turn that off?

Thank you!!

VPN idle timeout must config longer than 2 hours

Reference from

vpn-idle-timeout 30 = the amount of time the vpn connection is idle ie. no activity seen on the tunnel, before it is disconnected

vpn-session-timeout 900 = the amount of time the VPN tunnel is allowed to stay up regardless of whether there is activity or not.

If you running the ASA code in that case you can fine tune them.

show run group-policy FirstGroup ! hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes hostname(config-group-policy)# vpn-idle-timeout 15

and if your running ftd code in that case see this Cisco Document

Thanks! I'm trying to change these settings using Cisco ASDM version 7.12(2) 14. Where would i find those? There are just so many options and sections. I can locate the default policy but still the settings i guess are named differently. Thanks

You would change it by editing the Group Policy associated with your VPN Connection Profile. Max Connect Time is the one you are seeing in the "countdown" in your client GUI.

VPN Max Connect Time and Idle Timeout

Thank you! So this is what i have currently setup for the default group policy.

And this is the policy that is applied to my users: I cannot find anything anything that mention 2 hours' time limits.

your anyconnect behaviour is odd as what you have shown in ASDM your max-connection time is unlimited but for client it shows the 2 hours windows. This does not make sense according to your ASDM config your end anyconnect client should not see the time window (how much less time it left) could you please run the command on CLI on your firewall "show run all group-policy"
