Environment

Novell Operations Center myMO 4.7

Situation

myMO session time-out doesn't work as per instructions in myMO guide. As per the guide, this needs to be set in two places as mentioned below. But modifying the values in these two places alone doesn't make the session time-out change to the value specified, instead it still remains at 30 minutes.
By default, if a user does not perform any activity in myMO for 30 minutes, the user is warned that
the session will expire. The user can remain logged into myMO for an additional 30 minutes by
responding to the notification.

Resolution

To change the myMO session timeout:

1 Update the following line in the myMO_installation_path/server/conf/web.xml file for
the number of minutes before timeout:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
2 Update the following line in the myMO_installation_path/server/webapps/ROOT/WEBINF/
classes/portal-ext.properties file for the number of minutes before timeout:
session.timeout=30
 
In order for the session time out to change to the value specified, it needs to be updated in a third place as well.
3. To change the myMO session timeout, in addition to the above mentioned two places, update the follwoing line in the myMO_installation_path/server/webapps/ROOT/web-inf/web.xml file for
the number of minutes before timeout:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
This is just a documentation fix and it's been updated in myMO 5.0 version.
