Configuring Automatic Logout for Idle Sessions in Jetpatch

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure automatic logout for idle sessions in Jetpatch. It covers settings adjustments for both GWT (Google Web Toolkit) pages and Tomcat session-managed pages. By default, Jetpatch sets a 15-minute idle session timeout for GWT pages and a 30-minute timeout for Tomcat sessions.

Configuring Automatic Logout for Idle Sessions

1. Adjusting Idle Session Timeout for GWT Pages

   • Locate the intigua.properties File: Access the JetPatch Manager on the application server. Navigate to /usr/share/tomcat/default/conf/.
   • Edit the File: Open the intigua.properties file with a text editor.
   • Set the Timeout: To configure the automatic logout for idle GWT pages, find or add the line ui.userIdle.timeout.minutes. The default is ui.userIdle.timeout.minutes=15. Replace 15 with your desired timeout duration in minutes to change the idle session timeout.
   • Example of Default Setting: ui.userIdle.timeout.minutes=15
   • Save Changes and Restart: Save the file and restart the Jetpatch service to apply the new settings.

2. Adjusting Idle Session Timeout for Tomcat Sessions

   • Access the web.xml File: In the JetPatch application server, locate the Tomcat configuration file at /usr/share/tomcat/default/conf/web.xml.
   • Edit Session Timeout: In the web.xml file, find the <session-config> section. Inside, locate the <session-timeout> tag. The default value is set for 30 minutes.
   • Modify the Timeout: Change the value within <session-timeout> to your preferred duration in minutes to adjust the idle session timeout.
   • Example of Default Setting: <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
   • Save and Restart: After making the changes, save the web.xml file and restart the Tomcat service to implement the changes.
