Setting Session Timeout

Updated on

To help in protecting the system, each user session will timeout after a defined interval of inactivity.  The session default timeout is 5 minutes.
The system timeout can be changed to comply with any organization's security policies.

To set the session timeout value perform the following process steps:

1. Click on the Administration link under the SYSTEM banner. This will expand to show the administrative options.

2. Click on the Parsec Users link to access the User screen.

This will display the Users screen which displays the roster of current user profiles and the ability to add users to the Appliance.

Note:
In the initial login session into an Appliance the only profile listed will be the default admin profile (outlined in green).

Notes:

  • The default admin account listed is the account you used to initially log into the Appliance.
  • The default admin account cannot be deleted.  This is indicated by the Delete icon being faded out.

3. Click on the Edit link.

This will open up the Admin profile screen and enable the session timeout to be changed (outlined in green).

4. Set Session Timeout value to 0 (zero) which means that the "No time out" option for the session is selected.

Notes:

  • Setting the Timeout value to zero (0) prevents the session from timing out while the initial session is active (as indicated by the tooltip below).
  • The default value of 5 represents a session timeout of 5 minutes.
  • After this initial setup session, the session timeout value can be revised to a value that reflects your company's policies regarding session timeouts.

5. Click on the Update icon.

This completes the process on how to set the session timeout value to zero (no timeout).
