I created 20 user in hotspot (no radius, no user-manager) with a limit of 10 hours/day, with script at 00:00.

Problem:
In User Profile, the session timeout is set to 1 hour, this does not work...


http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Hotspot/User
session-timeout (time; Default: 0s) Allowed session time for client. After this time, the user is logged out unconditionally

It did last time I checked. Look in "/ip hotspot active" and see what that client shows under "session time left".

Once the client is logged out, there is nothing to prevent the client from logging in again unless you use some other way of preventing the login. If you have "login-by=cookie" in "/ip hotspot profile", the client will log in again transparently, appearing that the client never logged out.

Mac-cookies are not active

The user is logged out unconditionally. That does NOT mean the user cannot log back in immediately!

I use FreeRADIUS and send a WISPr-Session-Terminate-Time with the Access-Accept message instead of session-timeout. That will prevent a client from logging back in.

Does it show a session-time-left in "/ip hotspot active"?

I want that the user has the 1 hour session.....the user to continue using the connection? again login.
what's the problem?
If user downloads files from the internet or another, the session continues for a long time ... I do not want this.

If you do not see a value here, it isn't working.

Does it show a session-time-left in "/ip hotspot active"?

Sorry

I just tested mine. Here is the result from "/ip hotspot active".
UPTIME + SESSION-TIME-LEFT = 1 hour.

[admin@test] /ip hotspot active> pri
Flags: R - radius, B - blocked
# USER ADDRESS UPTIME SESSION-TIME-LEFT IDLE-TIMEOUT
0 tim 192.168.1.254 4m53s 55m7s 1d
[admin@test] /ip hotspot active>

I will wait until the time expires to check the logout function.

user 207nx4 use whatsapp in smartphones, every minute there are data packets in the network.
this situation for a long time.

I just checked my Winbox, and it is showing the correct times there also. Why is your display showing an 'R' before the line number in "ip hotspot active"? That is supposed to indicate you are using a radius server for authentication. I'm using a user from my router database in "/ip hotspot user".

Excuse my insistence, it is a rule for my hotspot.
All my user have seven days of the Internet, the session must last 1 hour max.
I think I need to write scripts for this problem.

This problem is also on other hotspot without radius, see image...another RB (v5.26)

Are you sure those users are using the default profile? The 'R' indicates you are using a RADIUS server for auth. Note the lack of a 'R' on the second active list.

What version RouterOS are you using?

I've got 25 minutes to go on my one hour session timeout.

They are 2 different routers.
first router CCR v.6.18 with user manager
second router RB951 v.5.26 without radiur or user manager
the problem is the same

I think the problem is with your smartphone, tablet, etc.. Whatsapp, Skype, youtube in layer7, etc.

I'm using v6.9. It logged me out after 1 hour. I had to log in again.

Maybe it is your script. You should post it so I can try it.

It is not a problem here. This is your problem. I was testing with a YouTube video running during the last few minutes to insure it cut off the video when the time ran out, and it did.

what time do you set idle-timeout in Hotspot server
I have 5 min, is a short time?

use with the iPhone or Android app

I have my idle timeout set high (1 day) so I can run tests like these without having to download something every few minutes.

I'm now running this test on my iPhone 5. I have 58 minutes to go.

edit: This is more difficult on my iPhone. When it goes into standby, it disconnects from my wifi and that logs me out.

update: After one hour, the hotspot logged out my iPhone during a YouTube video.

I see that the traffic generated by user does not interrupt the session automatically with session-timeout

solved with this script in schedule time 5 min.

:foreach i in=[/ip hotspot active find] do={
:if ([/ip hotspot active get $i uptime]>01:00:00) do={
/ip hotspot active remove $i
}
}
