Overview

The Swivel Administration console automatically logs out a user after a set period of inactivity. This time period can be changed.

Prerequisites

Swivel 3.x

Swivel Administration console session timeout needs to be changed.

This is controlled on each Swivel instance in the file web.xml

For a Swivel virtual or hardware appliance:

/usr/local/webapps/pinsafe/WEB-INF/web.xml

For a Software install, this is usually

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\pinsafe\WEB-INF\web.xml

For Swivel virtual or hardware appliances use WinSCP to edit the file:

Edit the session-timeout value

 <session-config>
         <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
     </session-config>

On an upgrade of Swivel, this value will be set back to default and will need to be re-entered.
