Changing the security authorization timeout feature permanently

The console is equipped with a timeout security feature. This feature controls the amount of time that all consoles that communicate with the UIM server can remain inactive before security authorization expires. This value is set during installation. You can change the timeout feature permanently for all consoles that communicate with the UIM server.

Tip

To change the security authorization timeout feature temporarily, see the instructions for operating the UIM server in your product documentation.

To change the timeout feature permanently

  1. Open your startup configuration member for editing.

    Important

    The startup member name is typically the same as the started task procedure name for the UIM server.

  2. In your startup configuration member, find the AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS variable.

    The following example shows the variable set to the default number of seconds, 1800:

     <bmc_parm id="AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS" value="1800" />
  3. Change the value of AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS to any number of seconds.
