Change automatic logout timeout in SLM WebUI

Portal User asked a question.

Hello Community, does someone know, how the timeout for automatic logout due to inactivity in SLM8 can be configured? I've heard that in SLM 7 this was possible by changing the following in web.config:        <sessionState timeout="300" / > However, I'm not sure if this still works in SLM8. If it still works, what are the accepted values for this setting (min/max)? Thanks, best regards Stefan

Hi Stefan, I am doing this in my testing environment. The value is <forms loginUrl="~/Pages/Login.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" protection="All" timeout="30" slidingExpiration="true" /> and has to be set in the file C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Snow License Manager\Web\Web.config . It works with a value of 600 (in minutes) in my environment. Please be aware, that there are also disadvantages regarding security, if you change this value! /marcel

I have just tested this with SLM 9.20. It still works. When changing timeout to 1, restarting IIS and webbrowser then the user gets logged out after 1 minute.

<forms loginUrl="~/Pages/Login.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" protection="All" timeout="1" slidingExpiration="true" />
