That's a fair point, but I don't think this works with my NAS. I have set it to 10 seconds for testing purposes. I was expecting it to retry the auth after the session runs out. But it remains entirely disconnected instead.
In general the NAS doesn't retry. The end-user does (or their system). And a 10s timeout might work, but it's generally low. If you set it to ~300, then the authentication might restart. Again, the RADIUS server is *not* in control here. It can advise the NAS / end user to do something, but they are free to ignore the RADIUS servers recommendations. This is one of the key concepts which is very hard to make people understand: No amount of poking the RADIUS server will make the NAS do something. Alan DeKok.
