Yes when I set the 'Idle-Timeout' to a value (in seconds) the user
will be automatically disconnected after the time if he doesn't use
the Internet connection. I have tried and it works perfectly.

The 'Idle-Timeout' allow me to set a value (in seconds), the user will
be automatically disconnected after the time if he doesn't use the
Internet connection.

This is the time between the session start and the session stop for each user.
When there is a log off, the session timeout is updated because we
have the 2 values :
-start connexion
-stop connexion

Can you explain me why chen a user is disconnected automatically by
the 'Idle-Timeout' value, the ' Acct-Session-Timeout' isn't updated?
