Hi,
it's normal that the connection (telnet...259 or http...900) to the FW is finished
after a standard sign-on. When the user wants to close the connections, he has to
connect again and to make a sign-off.
On the other hand, if you choose "Enalble Wait mode" mode in the rulebase (policy -
properties - authentication - Client Authentication) the telnet-connection will
hold. If this telnet session is closed then, the sign-off is done automatically.
Hope it helps,
best regards
Matthias
