config system global

config system global

Syntax

Use this command to configure the FortiNDR system-wide configuration.

config system global

set hostname <str>

set admin-idle-timeout <int>

set remoteauthtimeout <seconds>

end

Variable

Description

Default

hostname <string>

Host name of FortiNDR.

Varies by model

admin-idle-timeout

The idle time-out for system administration in minutes.

45 minutes

remoteauthtimeout <seconds>

Set the global timeout (in seconds) for remote authentication transactions.

Increase this value when external authentication (for example, RADIUS with MFA) needs more time before returning a response.

This setting increases the overall remote‑auth wait window used by the auth‑session timeout and client‑wait logic, which helps MFA scenarios where user approval is delayed. It does not change the per‑RADIUS retransmit interval, which still follows the server timeout and default behavior.

5 seconds

Example:

config system global 

    set remoteauthtimeout 10 

end
