Configure session and idle timeout limits

You can specify how long an administrator can remain logged in to the management console before they are signed out, even if the session is active. You can also specify how long a session is allowed to remain idle before the administrator is logged out of the console.

  1. In the management console, on the menu bar, click Settings > Authentication.
  2. On the Settings tab, in the Console Timeout section, configure the Session timeout limit.
    Administrators will receive a countdown prompt a few minutes before the session timeout limit is reached that will allow them to authenticate again to continue the session. If the administrator does not actively respond to the prompt by clicking Verify and logging in again, they are logged out when the session timeout limit is reached.
  3. Configure the Idle timeout limit.
    Administrators are not warned before the idle timeout expires and are automatically logged out.
  4. Click Save.
