Modifying the login session-sharing timeout setting

You can modify the login session-sharing timeout period so that the software remembers the user login status for a specified period, such as 30 minutes.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the WEB-INF/wsconfig/pt.cfg configuration file includes this tag:

    [CCM_SYSTEM][SESSION_SHARING_ENABLED]true[/SESSION_SHARING_ENABLED][/CCM_SYSTEM]

  2. In the app.properties file, specify the shared session expiry period. Example: util.shared_session.expiry_period_mins = 30

Results

These functions are available within the session-sharing timeout period:
  • Users who are logged in to one tab of the browser can access the home page without having to retype their login credentials.
  • Users can switch to another database from the home page.
  • Users can log in with a different role. However, they must log out of the software and login with a new role. However, this function is not available in the admin interface.
  • Users can close the browser tab and login from a new tab or a new instance of the same browser, without having to retype their login credentials.
Note: Sessions are invalidated when users log out of the software.
