Setting session timeout

fzpulce 2012-05-03 13:30:11 UTC #1

Hi all,
I’m using the last EGW community version under debian. All seem to work ok.

I’d like to edit the time after with egroupware close a session after inactivity.

Explanation: I login to egroupware, than if i leave my pc for more than 30 mins, when I came back to my desktop
and I get back to egw I notice that my session has expired due to inactivity.

I’d like to set this (inactivity) time for autologout to a more higher value. For example 2 hours.

I understand that 30 mins is a reasonable value and that setting this timeout can lead to “security problems”.
Security it 's not so important in this case cause I’m running egw in a private lan without internet access.

Thanks in Advance

Session timout still php.ini only?

Also looking to change the the timeout session. This used to be a variable in Admin/Site configuration under the heading Site configuration. We do not share computers in my office and often someone is sitting at their desk for 4+ hours at a time. I had changed this previously, but lost the ability following a SVN update a few months ago. Where might I find this in the code?

I removed it, as it was not working reliable. Only reliable way is to set it in global php.ini, which is of cause still possible.

Ralf,

is the session expiration set in php.ini by
session.gc_maxlifetime?

Yep, that’s the one.
