Authenticating a user each time it starts a browser session

I have a PIX-515E with authentication configured using a local user database. At this time I use the 'timeout uauth...' command to control when users have to be authenticated, but I'd like authentication to be requested each time a user starts an Internet Explorer session. Is it possible to configure it in the PIX?

Thanks,

What are your inactivity and absolute values?

If you set your inactivity value to 5 minutes, you should get pretty close to your goal.

If you set the inactivity value to 0, they would need to reauthenticate for every single http connection, IIRC = effectively unusable, so you need to live with somevalue > 1, which conceivably could mean that a user could close the browser completely, and reopen it, and not need to reauth
