Which single timeout setting would terminate a user session after 15 minutes of inactivity?

• A. Client Idle Time-out set to 15
• B. Forced Time-out set to 15
• C. Session Time-out set to 15
• D. Client Idle Time-out set to 900

Answer: (A)

The setting that controls how long a user can remain connected without any activity is the client idle time-out. When you set this to 15, the gateway will terminate the session after 15 minutes of no client activity, which directly matches the requirement of ending the session due to inactivity. This differs from a forced time-out, which ends a session after a fixed total duration regardless of activity, and from a session time-out, which ends the session after a certain amount of overall elapsed time rather than inactivity. The option with 900 would imply a much longer idle window (in the same unit), so it wouldn’t terminate after 15 minutes of inactivity. Therefore, setting the client idle time-out to 15 minutes is the correct choice.
