Configure the 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 prior to the idle timeout expiring and will be automatically logged out.
  4. Click
    Save
    .
