Session Timeout

Hi,

Can we set the session timeout to infinity, so that the user has to logon just once in a lifetime, until and unless he clicks on Logout in TeamSite. I guess there is an option in iw.cfg like
ui_login_lifetime=infinite.

Is this the way to set the session timeout to infinite?

Thanks,
Abhishek

At one point I think that was supposed to work - but I cannot recollect if that was ever truly supported. You can probably set it to a large number if you want though (keep within MAXINT range though)...

Maybe someone else will have a more definitive response...

Thanks.
In the example file of iw.cfg I could see that ui_login_lifetime=infinite is valid only for Webdesk users and not for Webdesk Pro. Hence its only for authors.
The cookie_lifetime=infinite is used in conjunction with the ui_login_lifetime attribute. The example file says that "A value of infinite (which is the default) causes persistent cookies to be issued, such that users stay logged in until the ui_login_lifetime is reached or the userdeliberately logs out. "

So for Webdesk users, will setting the cookie_lifetime= infinite and ui_login_lifetime=infinite help?

Thanks,

Yes,

ui_login_lifetime=infinite

should do what you want, and it is supported. Users would stay logged in until AD 2039.

cookie_lifetime=infinite

is already the default, so you do not need to set it explicitly.
