Hi,

Not sure if this helps, but what we've done in this scenario is implement a little javascript heartbeat function on the (captive portal) destination server such that users close the page to trigger a logout() function (via window.onbeforeunload), which in turn clears the user-ip mapping in the palo via the restful api call..

https://HOSTNAME/api/?type=op&cmd=<clear><user-cache><ip>USER_IP</ip></user-cache></clear>&key=APIKEY

I wont post any example code here as what weve used is a little more convoluted (in that we use websockets to push messages via an AMQP broker that has workers proxying api calls to the palo) but please let me know if you want further details..

cheers
