How to notify users when they are timed out?

So I am a developer for fortune 500 company and the network infrastructure team came to me with an odd request for an application that taps into Anyconnect. I find it hard to believe that this functionality doesn't exist.
So here is the scenario. We have Anyconnect set up to not have an idle timeout. However we have it set up to disconnect after 12 hours.
Here is the problem. When the end user meets that 12 hours, it just disconnects on them. There are no warning messages, no messages they have been disconnected. Just the connection is terminated.
So my question is there any way to set this up to notify the user they have been disconnected and need to reconnect. Is there a way to notify them in advance that they will be disconnected in say 30 minutes?
They want me to create an application that periodically checks the connection time by executing
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client>vpncli stats traffic
Getting the time connected then if they are nearing the timeout time then start presenting the user with a warning.
So that's basically my question. Is there no way to set this up in Anyconnect? If we are supposed to see these messages is it something our team might have disabled?
We are using Anyconnect 3.1.01065 on Windows XP and Windows 7

>> You don't have an idle timeout but will force disconnect after 12 hours? Does this really makes sense?
Actually yes, at least in our environment. Using Citrix applications and VT Terminal applicaitons they need a constant connection. If the user disconnected say via an Idle Timeout then their sessions into these applications can and will hang. Not only that the older VT terminal sessions if hung durring a process that locks records or tables then it is locked for everyone. They have to call our helpdesk and have them kill the user. Citrix gets a little wacky as well if the user just blinly disconnects. So idle timeouts are actually a bad thing. Also a user might through a terminal session or though a citrix connection start a long run transaction. For example a blueprint sent off to a render farm could take 3-4 hours to render some have even take 10 hours. So a user may start a process and then go away especially on the weekend.
So while there are issues with the internet in general that can cause disconnects most of this software will try reconnecitng from the server to the client everal times before finally giving up. So a quick break in internet connectivity is not an issue, a idle timeout where it doesn't reconnect until the user returns doesn't work.
Thanks for the link though, that will help

  • How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

    how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • Alerting Users that they have timed out

    Some of our faculty start to work on a project and then get called away for a conversation. When they return they continue to edit a document. When they go to save it, they get a message that they are either timed out or do not have privileges to edit that document. Is there a way in Vibe to put an alert on the screen when it has timed out?

  • I am planning to send some images to Alamy they need them as 24MB images how do I know when they are

    Good morning I have submitted some images to Alamy and they like them, which is a great start, they need a Jpeg file size of over 24MB when uncompressed. Opening a JPG in an image program such as Adobe Photoshop will show you the uncompressed (open) file size, I have no idea how to proceed can you help please, many thanks
    Kind regards
    Sheila

    Hi Sheila
    A 24Mb JPG is a bit of a strange thing to ask for, but image size, vs resolution vs dpi vs size on disk vs size when open in Photoshop, is something that seems to cause more confusion than almost any other subject on this forum, and at my camera club, and I dare say, in the editorial office at Alamy - or at least at the desk of their new trainee who is doing work experience while waiting to go to uni.
    I had not heard of Alamy, but they were easy to find, and as you'd expect, they have a page with guide lines on how to submit images
    http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/prepare-images.asp
    Bottom line is to give them full resolution high quality JPGs (10 or more).  They just say RGB, so play safe and make it sRGB.
    BTW  I had to laugh at the arbitrary way they list 'unsuitable' cameras.
    http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/unsuitable-camera-list.asp?cname=Canon
    And nothing about iPhones!
    BTW  This answer has sat waiting in a Word document after the site went down just as I was in the process of posting it.  Nice to see it back on line, but now I have to gou for the evening.

  • How to allow user refer back to lecture when they are taking a quiz?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to Captivate and now I am kinda in a dilemma. Thanks for your
    time watching my post!
    I created a CBL in Captivate 3, the first 10 slides is a lecture and it
    is followed by a 10 slides quiz set as SCORM standard.
    I want the learner to be able to refer back to the lecture when they
    are taking the quiz, I tried to in 2 approaches and they both have
    issues in different ways.
    Approach 1:  "allow backward movement", and "infinite attempts". The
    problem with this approach is, when the learner click "review the
    quiz" and when they click "back" on the first quiz slide, the whole
    quiz will be start all over, the score is flipped back to zero.
    Because the quiz seeing this as a new attempt, and the learner is
    allowed to make "infinite attempts" as it was configured.
    Approach 2: Set "allow backward movement" and allow only "1 attempt".
    The problem with this approach is, when the learner is in the middle
    of the quiz and refers back to the lecture, the quiz will be
    automatically shown as completed. And the learner will not get a
    chance to answer those unanswered questions.
    So it looks like whenever I let the learner refer back to the lecture
    in the middle of a quiz, the quiz will be seen as completed!!! What am
    I doing wrong? Is there a better approach that I can "allow backward
    movement" and still allow user resume their quiz from where they left
    off?
    Sorry for the long post, I was not able to express it in a more
    concise way.
    Any help is really appreciated!!
    -David

    What you are seeing is the behaviour as-designed in Captivate for quizzing.
    Each Captivate movie has a "quiz scope" which begins with the very first scorable object, and ends at the Quiz Results slide.  If you enter the quiz scope by starting a quiz slide, then jump back outside the quiz scope, by going back to the main content, Captivate's default behaviour is to freeze the quiz at that point.  So when Captivate refers to Allow Backward Movement, it's only talking about backward movement within the quiz scope.
    For example, if you get to question 1 but don't answer it and go to question 2, then answer that one, and go back to question 1, you'll still be able to answer question 1.  The quiz won't be frozen.  However, if you had jumped back to any slide before question 1, your quiz would have been frozen with whatever score you had accumulated at that point.
    There may be a workaround you can use to get closer to what you want.  Since any scorable object is classified as being part of the quiz, you can add a button on one of the very first slides that the user needs to click in order to advance.  Set the properties of this button (or click box) to report a score to the quiz.  This makes it part of the quiz scope.  Now any content slides that fall after this button slide are also within quiz scope and moving back to them will not have the same effect of freezing the quiz.
    Please bear in mind one more aspect of quiz questions:  If you answer a quiz question, and then move off the slide (forward or back) that quiz question answer is frozen and cannot be changed unless you Retake the Quiz or relaunch the entire module.
    Hope this helps clear up the way things work.

    My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

  • How do I show the details of a customer when they are logged in a secure zone?

    How do I show the details of a customer when they are logged in a secure zone?
    I want to show the customer details as well as some customer CRM fields that are applied to the customer. None of these are entered via a form, they would be entered by the client. The customer would need to be able to log in to view the information and get an email alert when it is updated. Help!?

    Hi,
    You might want to look into customer service zones which allows customers once logged in to see their case, order and own details.

    My Macbook is not playing sound unless i have headphones in. The light in the headphone port stays on even when they are not plugged in. How can i fix this?

    You might need to clean the headphone port (I was in the same situation and this worked for me).  Dirt, dust, and debris accumulate in the port and eventually the computer registers the debris as headphones being plugged in.  After cleaning the issue was resolved.

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:
