  • 1.  How to Extend Admin Idle Session limit?

    Posted 10-31-2011 08:28

    Can someone please provide the commands to extend Admin sessions so I can read docs and the session still be open when I return to practice?

     

    I'm using Putty and the sessions keep ending after about 10 to 15 minutes for 3 LAB units and I can't find out how to alter the default behavior.

     

    Tried this:

    set admin auth 0

    set service ssh 480

     

    but while reading, the sessions still drop.

    The default is 10 minutes.  Just put in the desired number instead.

     

    set auth-server Local timeout 10

    well...sorry, but, maybe that did not work either 😞

     

    Just got bumped out...again.

     

    Log says:

    Admin user "XLA" has been forced to log out of the SSH session on host x.x.x.x

     

    Any ideas?

    turns out the this is the command that works:

    set console timeout xxx

     

    jtac said that applied to all cli connections...including ssh.

    Sorry about the mis step there.  This is the command to extend the timeout for the web interface incase you also use that.

     

    set admin auth web timeout 10
