Configure the TLS Handle Expiry Time on NPS Servers
Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012
Use this procedure to change the amount of time that NPS servers cache the Transport Layer Security (TLS) handle of client computers. After successfully authenticating an access client, NPS servers cache TLS connection properties of the client computer as a TLS handle. The TLS handle has a default duration of 10 hours (36,000,000 milliseconds). You can increase or decrease the TLS handle expiry time by using the following procedure.
Important
This procedure must be performed on an NPS server, not on a client computer.
Administrative credentials
To complete this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group.
To configure the TLS handle expiry time on NPS servers using the Windows interface
On an NPS server, open Registry Editor.
