Disconnect Remote Access VPN Sessions on FTD

You can terminate active remote access VPN sessions on cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center managed FTD. This task can be performed in live mode.

Security Cloud Control provides a VPN Sessions Manager user role to allow users to view and terminate VPN sessions. See User Roles for more information.

Procedure

Step 1

In the left pane, click Secure Connections > Remote Access VPN > Firewall Threat Defense.

Step 2

In the tabular view, find the session you wish to terminate using the search and filter options and click on it.

Step 3

In the Actions pane on the right, perform the action you want:

  • Terminate session: Disconnect the selected session on the device.

  • Terminate all of this user's sessions: Disconnect all sessions of the user on the device.

  • Terminate all sessions on this device: Disconnect all user sessions on the device.

Step 4

Click Terminate Session(s) to confirm your selection.

After a session is terminated, the session is immediately disconnected from the VPN headend. However, Security Cloud Control does not immediately query the device to retrieve the list of live sessions. Therefore, you might still see the terminated session after you've chosen to terminate it. To see the latest list of sessions from the device, click the Reload icon.

Note

If you have terminated a session, you may have to wait a while before clicking on the Reload button, as the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center can take a while before it reflects the updated list of live sessions.
