How to make VPN client auto disconnect when it still idle?

Hi,I found some user still connected the VPN evenif they dose not use the VPN resouse.

I try to set a "idle timeout" for the VPN configuration.

We use PIX515 8.0.3 and CISCO ACS 4.2 for the VPN's connection and authentication,and the user use cisco vpn client for the connection.

I have tried many methods,but all failured.

First,I configed "vpn-idel-timeout 5" on PIX.It can not worked.

so,I add Radius(CISCO VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.0+) attribute "[026/3076/050] Authenticated-User-Idle-Timeout" on CISCO ACS,It still not worked.

And I also add IETF RADIUS Attributes "[028] Idle-Timeout" on group setting on ACS,it always not worked.

i found in vpn client's statistics,it always has some byte sended or received, i thought it maybe IPsec keepalive message or Radius message.

This maybe the reason because the PIX or ACS think the vpn user is keep working.

Can someone tell me how to make a "idle time out"?

best regard.

Roger

  here is the configuration on PIX,

group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes

wins-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68

dns-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68

vpn-simultaneous-logins 20

vpn-idle-timeout 5

split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified

split-tunnel-network-list value vpn-acl

default-domain value mydomain.com

address-pools value vpnpool group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
wins-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68
dns-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68
vpn-simultaneous-logins 20
vpn-idle-timeout 5
split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified
split-tunnel-network-list value vpn-acl
default-domain value want-want.com
address-pools value vpnpool

Inactivity time out on VPN with windows devices connecting to a corporate network is almost impossible.

Something is almost always 'chatting' in the background (active directory /drive mappings / e-mail systems)

A forced re-authentication after a period (12 or 24 hours) is about as good as it gets
