'Idle-Timeout' and the 'Acct-Session-Time' argument

[Liran Tal]

Hey Pierre,

Chillispot will disconnect the user but the problem you're facing is that it
isn't actually idle (can happen because of many reasons that you didn't take
in consideration).

So instead of idle-timeout use the session-timeout attribute and give it a
try.

Regards,
Liran Tal.
