Changing Web Manager Time-outs
The root user can log into the console as root and manually specify a time-out value for Web
Manager sessions. The expiration of a Web Manager session after a period of inactivity may be
configured using the cli utility along with either or both of two time
-out-related parameters that
have different effects. Their values can be set to any number of seconds up to 2e31.
To configure Web Manager time
-outs:
1. Log into the console as the root user.
2. Enter the
cli command. The cli> prompt appears.
Table 6.3: Web Manager Time-out-related cli Parameters
cli parameter Description
browser_timeout Default: no setting. When set, if the specified period of inactivity occurs while a user is
logged into the Web Manager, the user is automatically logged out of the Web
Manager. Any DirectCommand sessions are automatically terminated. To set a
time-out value that does not automatically terminate DirectCommand sessions when
the number of seconds of inactivity elapses, set session _timeout.
session_timeout Default: no setting. Causes the user’s session to expire if the specified period of
inactivity occurs but does not log the user out unless the user clicks any of the Web
Manager controls. Preventing user activity without automatic logouts allows
DirectCommand sessions to continue.

After 15 minutes and before 120 minutes of inactivity, the user’s
session is automatically terminated, but the user is not logged out
unless the user clicks any of the Web Manager controls. After 120
minutes of inactivity, the user is automatically logged out. Between
15 minutes and 120 minutes, if the user does not click any controls,
DirectCommand sessions can continue.
