    Modify the Captive Portal Session Timeout

    The Captive Portal session timeout must be the same as or greater than the PAN-OS web server timeout. For details, see Connection Timeouts for Authentication Servers.
    The more you raise the PAN-OS web server and Captive Portal session timeouts, the slower Captive Portal will respond to users.
    1. Select DeviceSetupSession and edit the Session Timeouts.
    2. Enter a new Captive Portal value in seconds (default is 30; range is 1 to 1,599,999) and click OK.
    3. Commit your changes.
