Default settings of the Logon application

To configure the default settings that determine how user entry validity is determined, you must first determine whether Logon Agent and the logon application for Windows clients operate in persistent mode or nonpersistent mode (default).

Nonpersistent mode is activated by including the /NOPERSIST parameter when launching LogonApp.exe (see Prepare the Windows logon scripts).

• In persistent mode, the logon application contacts Logon Agent periodically to communicate user logon information.

  If you are using persistent mode, specify a Query interval to determine how frequently the logon application communicates logon information.

  Note: If you change this value, the change does not take effect until the previous interval period has elapsed. For example, if you change the interval from 15 minutes to 5 minutes, the current 15-minute interval must end before the query starts occurring every 5 minutes.
• In nonpersistent mode, the logon application sends user logon information to Logon Agent only once for each logon.

  If you are using nonpersistent mode, specify a User entry expiration time period. When this timeout period is reached, the user entry is removed from the user map.

  The default interval is 24 hours, randomized to prevent performance spikes. Individual user entries expire after 24 hours, give or take 0-20% of that time period.

When you are finished making configuration changes, click OK to return to the Settings > User Identification page, then click OK again to cache your changes. Changes are not saved until you click Save and Deploy.
