Session Time-Out

The default session time-out is 30 minutes. That is the number of minutes that a session can remain idle before the server terminates it automatically. If the user does not refresh or request a page within the session time-out period, the session ends and the user has to log in again in order to use the application.

5. Save the changes.

6. Restart the application server.
