Administering SAS Web Applications

Change the HTTP Session Time-out Interval

By default, the Web applications use a session time-out interval that is specified in the Web application server configuration. You can specify a different time-out interval by modifying one or more web.*xml* files.

If an application has multiple web.*xml*files, then you should modify all the files that are listed. (Your deployment might not include all of these applications. Modify the files only for the applications that you are deploying.) The following table lists the file or files that should be modified for each Web application:

To specify a session time-out interval, follow these steps:

  1. Modify the following code in the appropriate files:

    <session-config>
    <session-timeout>time-out-interval</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

    Replace time-out-interval with the time-out interval in minutes. As a recommendation, the number should be no smaller than 5.

    When you are finished, save and close the file.

  2. Use the SAS Deployment Manager to rebuild the EAR files that contain the SAS Web applications.

  3. If the Web application server is running, stop it.

  4. Redeploy the Web applications whose files you modified. See Redeploying the SAS Web Applications.

  5. Restart the Web application server.
