Logging Out of SonicOS

To log out of the SonicOS web management interface, click on the username initials at the top right corner of the banner and select Logout from the drop-down list.

In the confirmation dialog, click Continue.

The logout page is displayed.

To log back into the firewall, click Log Back In.

For security reasons, SonicOS automatically logs the administrator out after a specified period of inactivity. The default inactive time is 5 minutes. To change this duration, configure the desired number of minutes in the Log out the Admin after inactivity of (mins) field in the Login / Multiple Administrators screen on the DEVICE | Settings > Administration page.
