timeouts

is there a setting in iw.cfg for users timing out of teamsite (5.5.2)?

In iw.cfg the section [authentication] see:

[authentication]
ui_login_lifetime=12h0m0s
cookie_lifetime=0

ui_login_lifetime is pretty self-explanatory.

cookie_lifetime is either "0" or "infinite".

If you set it to "0" then the auth cookie only lives within the browser's memory. If the user closes ALL browser windows (assuming IE not some other browser) then they will be effectively logged out.

If you set it to inifinite then the cookie lives forever (or the user manually clicks Logout). The cookie DOES NOT expire after the 12 hours (or whatever your timeout is set to).

Do you need to restart the server? Or simply throw an iwreset...

Funny you should ask.

You must stop the teamsite service (we're on W2K). doing a iwreset -ui or -a or " " didn't reset it. I actually had the box rebooted.
