3. Set Do not resume sessions older than to the maximum number of hours that
a session can last after initial authentication before requiring reauthentication.
After the time limit has elapsed, the next reauthentication will be a completely
new one. The number of hours can have up to three decimal places.
By default, session resumption is enabled and an initial authentication is
resumed for up to 12 hours.
To disable this feature, clear the Enable session resumption setting.
Enabling Temporary Trust
In some circumstances, you might need to establish temporary trust with a server
while you authenticate. You might decide at some point to change trust settings to
trust a previously untrusted server. See “Managing Untrusted Servers” on page 86
for more information about establishing trust.
To enable temporary trust:
1. Go to Tools > Options > Security.
2. Select Enable server temporary trust. If temporary trust is enabled, you have
the following options:
 Trust an untrusted server temporarily when you attempt to authenticate to
it. See “Managing Untrusted Servers” on page 86.
 Add the server to your trust tree in the Trusted Servers dialog.
Consequently, the temporary trust feature serves as an alternative to
configuring trusted servers through the Trusted Servers dialog.
If temporary trust is not enabled, any authentication attempt that requires the
validation of a server certificate fails when the server is not explicitly trusted.
To disable this feature, clear the Enable server temporary trust field.
3. Set Maximum time for temporary trust to the maximum time (in hours) that
you want OAC to continue to trust a server once you accept it. By default,
temporary trust is enabled. The maximum time that a particular server is
temporarily trusted after you accept it is 12 hours.
Enabling Automatic Reauthentication
When you are reauthenticated to your network, encryption keys are refreshed, and
any new or updated security policies that are implemented on the network are
applied to your network connection.
You can configure automatic periodic reauthentication to the network using OAC.
NOTE: These settings do not apply to servers that you choose to trust permanently
if you select Add this trusted server to the database when you are prompted for
temporary trust. See “Managing Untrusted Servers” on page 86.
