Session Timeout

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I want my customized workspace instance to have no timeout. I can see that from AdminUI User Management with core system seetings SessionTimeout variable can be changed to specific value for all system.

I my case two instance of workspace will work together, one for no session timeout and one for specific session timeout.

Is there a default value (such as -1 (not help)) for SessionTimeout which makes no timeout? And also can it be applied to only to specified deployed instance of Workspace?



Thanks a lot.

What's the desired behavior your looking for? When the user is logged in that they never become logged out of Workspace?

[Former Community Member]

Yes, that is what I wanted but for only a specific customized workspace. Or specified users.



Thanks.

Well I don't believe you can do it at a user level, as this is a system setting, which impacts the livecycle application such as the AdminUI, Workbench, and Workspace.



The actual value you would want to modify is called assertionValidityInMinutes the default value is 120. I would suggest just cranking up this value to something that would meet your needs.

I see.

Is there a maximum value that is allowed?

Thanks.

I might consider the security issues you would be introducing if you increase the value that it 'never' times out.

[Former Community Member]

There apparently isn't any maximum value like if you were to specify -1 to turn the context time off. If you really need this behavior it looks like your going to have to specify a large (int) value.

regarding the "assertionValidityInMinutes", the manual puts it under the "WorkBench" section... does it also affect WorkSpace and AdminUI? or there's some other parameters we need to change for WorkSpace/AdminUI?



thanks
