How long are login credentials cached for?

Our wireless setup is LWAPP with 4404 authenticating to an ACS using 802.1x. After connecting the wireless network and providing a username and password, how long is that information cached?

For example, I noticed if you turn off the laptop and then turn it on again, it automatically connects to the wireless. Is there a way to force re-logon after a certain amount of time?

You can use session timeouts on the WLC, under WLAN, advanced.

Session Timeout (secs) - Set the maximum time for a client session before requiring reauthorization. Default = 1800 seconds.

Cached credential is how Windows works with PEAP:
