Hi Support


Am trying to increase the timeout session in V7 as previous comments on how to fix from 2010/11 do not seem to apply.

i.e.
The timeout is set in the tomcat configuration files.
In Yellowfin/appserver/conf/web.xml, modify this block:


20


The new timeout will take effect after restarting tomcat (Yellowfin).

Is there somewhere else this is now implemented as there is no reference to any of this information.

Thanks Jeremy

Hi Support,

May we know where can we adjust the session timeout in Yellowfin7?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

I believe this post actually contains where to adjust the timeout (see comments above that reference the web.xml)

David

I was able to make this work. First I had a look at Session Management in Administration:





As you can see, my timeout is set to 30 minutes.

I then changed the value in web.xml from 30 to 10 and restarted Yellowfin.

In Session Management the timeout is now set to 10 minutes:





I also timed it, and after 10 minutes of inactivity, my user was logged out.

Best regards,

Can I confirm that if the session-config time is set to 0 minutes, then no timeout will occur?

Hi Peter,

True, if you set the timeout to '0' no timeout will occur. However, there is also a cookie session timeout that
is hard coded for 12 hours, that cannot be changed. See this FORUM post for details.

Please let us know how this goes.
