Reconnecting Users who manually disconnect

Should a user manually disconnect from GP, is there a setting that would automatically reconnect them after a number of minutes/hours, and is this configurable ?

Hi there,

in the Agent Settings in the Global Protect Portal you can enable the "Connect Method" "Always on (on User Login / Pre Logon)"

Also you can deny users to disconnect from global Protect at the same configuration context.

Just to add, in the Agent settings under the Portal you can set the Disable Timeout (agent-user-override-timeout in the XML). This obviously won't do anything if you use an On-Demand connection type, but assuming that you are using Always-On this will automatically re-enable the agent after the given timeout has expired.
