Enabling Session Timeout

You can configure the system so that when a user's session times out, all active pop-up windows are closed and the browser loads the login page.

To enable this functionality, you only need to perform Step 1. The remainder of the steps show you how to change the default timeout values.

  1. To enable the session timeout to close all active pop-up windows, edit the web.xml file to enable the SessionTimeoutCookieFilter. This filter is disabled by default.
  2. To change the default timeout value, edit the session-timeout setting in the web.xml file to configure the timeout value. The default value is 30 minutes. The minimum value is 3 minutes.
  3. To change the default timeout value, edit the cas.session.timeout setting in the iam/WEB-INF/classes/cas.properties file. The default values is 7200000 is the default value (in milliseconds).
  4. Create or open the text file to contain customized properties for emxSystem.properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  5. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object for emxSystem.properties: 

    emxFramework.SessionTimeout.AutoLogout.PollTimer=60000

  6. When finished updating the text file with all properties you want to modify, including the ones shown here, use the text file to modify the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
