Hotspot session length

StefanWinter

Hello everyone, is there a way to define a Hotspot with a session length of more than 1 week?

Colleagues are complaining, they have to renew their phone-logins every week. I understand this, but I found no other way.

I need to distinguish Mobile-Phone Users from regular laptops in our internal network.

So I authenticate real workstations with AD (Radius, WindowsServer) and other mobile devices via Hotspot. The latter only get internet access.

Because there is no way to directly authenticate a WLAN-Connection to a Sophos-User, i don't want to waste AD-Licenses. So using Hotspot was the only way I found.

Maybe someone has a better idea

Thank you in advance

    Hi, Stefan, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    According to the Help, the longest time you can define is two years, not seven days.

    Hi Bob,

    thank you for your answer, I am afraid I did not state clearly how I set up my hotspot, sorry for the confusion.

    For Vouchers this is true, but I am using Backend-Authentication. So there is a separate selection drop-down for the session length. It allows me to choose something between 2 hours and 1 week.
    And this is way too short for our purposes.

    Regards - Stefan
