To change the default timeout on the Administration Site of VigilEnt Policy Center (VPC), follow these steps:

2. Edit web.xml (Note: Notepad will work).

3. Add the following before line 1912 (line 1912 looks like:  <!-- The Welcome File List -->):

   <!-- ======== Default Session Configuration ======== -->
<!-- You can set the default session -->
<!-- timeout (in minutes) for all newly   -->
<!-- created sessions by modifying the value below. -->

   <session-config>
