Hi team

I have a few questions about when a session is delivered in Password Safe.

1- A user's connection request remains open for the duration of their approved session, right? Once connected, when the session is about to expire, is there any warning before the session closes, or does the user remain connected? (Is this configurable?)

2- Does the approver's request remain open for the same duration until they approve or deny it? Or does it expire before then?

3- If I requested 2 hours of connection, can I connect as many times as I need during those 2 hours? If so, can I restrict this on certain servers so that if a user disconnects, they have to request a new connection?

I look forward to your comments.

1A check you Access Policy. Force Termination will end the ongoing session when time expires.

2- Does the approver's request remain open for the same duration until they approve or deny it? Or does it expire before then?
2A. An approver’s Request expires when the allotted time is up, or when the user check-in access under Requests

3- If I requested 2 hours of connection, can I connect as many times as I need during those 2 hours? If so, can I restrict this on certain servers so that if a user disconnects, they have to request a new connection?
3A. Yes, the session will be available for 2 hours and can be reused for reconnecting. Access policy with Logoff on Disconnect will get signed off, so a need for different access policies.
