FortiClient increase timeout ssl-vpn via client

default session timeout of an ssl vpn over FortiClient is 28800sec. (8hrs).
After the ssl vpn is established the countdown start and you cannot maintain them alive with a ping -t or something other. So after 8hrs the FortiGate kill the tunnel.

To increase the aut-timeout do this:

1. Login via ssh to the Fortigate,
2. Run:
   config vdom
edit root
config vpn ssl settings
set auth-timeout 83400 (24hrs….)
   
3. Login to Forticlient and enjoy 24h-ssl-tunnel-nonstop 🙂
