RADIUS attribute from rfc7268
Preauth-Timeout
This attribute sets the maximum number of seconds that pre- authentication state is required to be kept by the NAS without being utilized within a user session. For example, when pre-authentication is used, if a user has not attempted to utilize the Pairwise Master Key (PMK) derived as a result of pre-authentication within the time specified by the Preauth-Timeout Attribute, the PMK MAY be discarded by the Access Point. However, once the session is underway, the Preauth-Timeout Attribute has no bearing on the maximum session time for the user or the maximum time during which key state may be kept prior to re-authentication. This is determined by the Session-Timeout Attribute, if present.A single Preauth-Timeout Attribute MAY be included within an Access-Accept or CoA-Request packet. A summary of the Preauth- Timeout Attribute format is shown below.
