Setting the JBoss ON UI session timeout

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (ON) 3.2, 3.3
• JBoss ON user-interface (UI)

Issue

• Edit the user session timeout for user-interface (UI) or web console
• User session timeout set less than one hour

Resolution

• Navigate to Administration -> System Settings in the GUI. On the right panel, set the value GUI Session Timeout and click on Save button.
• The units of session timeout is hours, and this cannot be changed to minutes. The minimum session timeout is 1 hour for versions prior to 3.3.2, after 3.3.2 you can set this value to minutes.

Root Cause

In JBoss ON 3.2 and later, the default timeout for an inactive user-interface (UI) session is 1 hour. The timeout unit is in hours making the minimum timeout value 1 hour.

An enhancement has been requested to relax the time unit from hours to minutes -- thus allowing for a smaller timeout period. The request has been captured in This content is not included.Red Hat Bugzilla 1202327 and will be considered for a future JBoss ON release.
