the session by completing the following steps:
Procedure

session.

and end the session attempt.

screen with a timer showing the number of seconds they have to react
to the request and the option to accept or refuse your disconnection
request. They can select from the following options:

determined by the target user if target user acceptance is enabled.
You are connected to the target if the target user accepts the request,
or they do not respond in the given time and the AcceptanceProceed property
is set to PROCEED. You are not connected to the target if the target
user refuses the request, or they do not respond in the given time
and the AcceptanceProceed property is set to
ABORT. If target user acceptance is not enabled, the current session
is disconnected and you are connected to the target.

on your system and the current controller is not disconnected from
the session.
- No response
- If the current controller user does not respond within the given
time you are connected to the target if the AcceptanceProceed property
is set to PROCEED. You are not connected if AcceptanceProceed is
set to ABORT.
