Overview
Session timeout functions as follows:
| 1 | If there is no user activity (API calls) for a default period of 30 minutes, the login session will timeout. When this occurs, the following alert message will be displayed:
|
|---|---|
| 2 | By default a notification period of 20 seconds will then start before the session fully expires and the user will need to re-login. |
| 3 | After a default period of 20 hours, a session will timeout regardless of whether there is continuous user activity during this period. |
Customizing the timeout
You can alter all session timeout periods by editing the following files. On completion, save the files and ensure that you restart all CAST Imaging services/containers so that the changes are taken into account.
| Timeout option | File to edit | Line to change |
|---|---|---|
| Notification period (20 seconds) | Microsoft Windows traditional installer: %PROGRAMFILES%\CAST\ImagingSystem\nginx\html\app-config.js Docker Installer extension (located in the folder created when unzipping the extension): server\nginx\html\app.config | Find this line: sessionTimeoutAlertBefore: 20, // In Seconds sessionTimeoutAlertBefore: 60, // In Seconds |
| Timeout (30 minutes) | Microsoft Windows traditional installer: %APPDATA%\CAST\ImagingSystem\login\application.properties Docker Installer extension (located in the folder created when unzipping the extension): server\login\application.properties or login\application.properties | Find this line: jwt.token.timeout.minutes=30 Change the time to the preferred timeout period, in minutes: jwt.token.timeout.minutes=60 |
| Global timeout (20hrs) | Find this line: refresh.token.timeout.minutes=1200 Change the time to the preferred global timeout period, in minutes: refresh.token.timeout.minutes=300 |
Microsoft Windows via traditional installer
These files are located in the protected %PROGRAMFILES% / %APPDATA% locations, therefore you must open them with elevated permission (this is usually achieved by right clicking your text editor in the Windows start menu and selecting Run as administrator):
Linux
You may need to use elevated permissions to edit this file (for example use sudo).
