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 which 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.

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. Edit your startup configuration member.

    Note

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

  2. From your startup configuration member, find the AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS variable.The default number of seconds is 1800.

    The AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS variable is displayed as follows:

     <bmc_parm id="AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS" value="1800" />
  3. Change the value of BMC_PARM ID='AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS' from 1800 to any numeric value in seconds.
