    We have found that closing (not by clicking on Disconnect button) the popup Network Access window which appears after Captive Portal login, has different effects on different client machines. Some machine’s connection will be kept active, while others will lose connectivity and require to re-login immediately.

    Is the connection timeout controlled by the Authenticator Validity value ? And if it is, should the behavior be the same for ALL machines ?

    Thanks

    It depends on the browser that you use. I tried to intercept the window close event but it is not a standardized procedure.
    In any case the connection is closed after the authenticator expires.
