VPN: Manually Disconnect a logged-in User

I would like to have a option on the Remote Access Status Page to throw out a logged-in-User. In some cases it would be necessary to log out a user manually with the webadmin-interface.

        I run in to this frequently where I want to force just one logged on user to disconnect. Sometimes I see one user with 2 ip addresses and one of them is the same as another user.

        We have ran into an issue where our remote users will connect remotely, but will leave the connection active when they leave their house.

        This can pose as a security risk and we are unable to disconnect the user from within WebAdmin.

        We need a way of disconnecting a user that is connected remotely without taking down the entire system.

        Hi...

        Now we are using v8.103 and v8.165 under testing but there is no option for manually Disconnect.

        I've come across the limitation many times over. There are users that never seem to log out, thereby taking up value system resources and bandwidth, not to mention the security risk of having a user logged in for days on end while they're on vacation. Other firewalls seem to offer this ability, but Astaro is my firewall of choice as opposed to a Cisco PIX or ASA. I want to be able to drop the connection or at the very least set limitations on how session length or idle time.

        Please not only for SSL-VPN its a good thing to have on all RemoteAccess Methods
