| Option | Function | Your Action |
|---|---|---|
NCP Auto-Select | Allows you to specify internal protocols to communicate between the Secure Access device server and client applications. | Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:
|
Read Connection Timeout (seconds) | Allows you to specify the timeout interval for Java clients (15 to 120 seconds). Note that this value does not apply to user inactivity in client applications. | Set the idle connection interval. |
Idle Connection Timeout (minutes) | Allows you to specify the idle connection interval. This timeout interval determines how long the Secure Access device maintains idle connections for client-side Windows Secure Access methods. | Set the idle connection interval. |
