Is there a way to change the session expiration value in 24R2?  In 24R2, the default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).  This is incredibly frustrating and far too short.

@msherrman please reference this post.

 


Hi ​@msherrman,

If a user remains inactive for longer than the 'Session Idle' timeout, their user session is invalidated. In IFS Cloud 25R1, the system parameter ‘Time a session is allowed to be idle before it expires’ is configured as follows:

• Minimum Value: (Access Token lifespan + 2) Minutes
• Maximum Value: (Session Max - 2) Minutes
• Default value: 30 Minutes

With IFS Cloud 24R2, a new feature has been introduced that enables users to adjust the session and token timeouts through 'Solution Manager' to better suit their individual business needs.

Changing the timeout is challenging and involves potential risks; therefore, a new system privilege has been introduced for this purpose. To modify the default configured session and token timeouts, the 'AUTH_ADMINISTRATOR' system privilege must be possessed.

How to alter the ‘Session Idle’ timeout?

(1) Navigate to the ‘IAM Sessions and Token Configuration’ page (Solution Manager > Access Control > Identity and Access Manager > Configurations> Sessions and Tokens)

(2) Edit > Alter the Session Idle timeout > Save

Kindly note that this is a global setting, and changes will be applied to all the IAM clients.

Note: However, you can determine whether to adjust session and token timeouts for the entire application or on a per IAM Client basis.
