Question:

• How can I change the timeout value of the Browser UI, or set it to never time out?

Procedure:

The timeout is configurable. 

Note:  In a collector/console configuration, only make changes on the console.

To set the timeout

Change timeouts for both tomcat and josso.

1. The tomcat timeout can be changed in: 
   /opt/tomcat/webapps/aup-reports/WEB-INF/web.xml
   
   For version 9.1.0-3 use:
   /opt/tomcat/webapps/josso/WEB-INF/classes/josso-gateway-config.xml.ldap
   /opt/tomcat/webapps/josso/WEB-INF/classes/josso-gateway-config.xml.jdbc
   
   The line default is:
   <session-timeout>28</session-timeout>
   
   You can change it to any value you like. The time is in minutes. 
2. The josso timeout can be changed in:
   /opt/tomcat/webapps/josso/WEB-INF/classes/josso-gateway-config.xml
   
   The line default is: <maxInactiveInterval>30</maxInactiveInterval>
   
   Important Note: the josso timeout must be greater than the tomcat timeout.  
3. Restart tomcat. 

To turn off the timeout

1. Edit the tomcat configuration file(s) and change the 'session-timeout' to 0. The container ensures the default behavior of sessions is never to time out when it is set to 0.
2. Edit the josso configuration file and change the 'maxInactiveInterval' to -1.
3. Restart tomcat.
