You can configure a virtual server to terminate any idle client connections after a configured time-out period (in seconds) elapses. When you configure this setting, the Citrix® ADC appliance waits for the time you specify and, if the client is idle after that time, it closes the client connection. By default, the client idle time-out value is set to 180 seconds.
