Notes

About remoteauthtimeout

  • This is a global parameter for LDAP, RADIUS, and other authentication servers.
  • It defines the maximum time (in seconds) allowed for a valid token code to be entered before the connection closes.
  • Default value: 5 seconds.
  • Important: Changing this value affects all remote authentication servers (RADIUS, LDAP, TACACS+).
