Change Microservices web session timeout

User51642 Yong Huang

We run GoldenGate in Microservices Architecture. Many operations are done through the web interface. But the web session times out too quickly, like maybe 30 minutes. How can we make it longer? No config file looks like having a setting for that. It's hard to come up with good keywords to search on MOS or Google. Thanks.

    May I know what kind of sessions are timed out?

    I mean the web pages, e.g.:

    h t t p : / / ouroggserver : 9100

    h t t p : / / ouroggserver : 9101

    (community.oracle.com tells me "You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links" so I put spaces in the URLs)

    That is expected. If you are not using the session for a longer time or the session is not active for a longer time, then surely it will get timed out. This is for the security reasons.

    Anybody has an idea? I suspect not many people use MA so they don't use the web interface? This timeout setting doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

    I have the same problem. Security people think that administrators use one screen at the time and don't leave it until they are done. In reality, we use different screens, get interrupted, go back again and find the screen or GUI locked. This happens several times a day and is not so helpful (although very secure :-) )

    I kind of explored it, but couldn't find any options to set the timeout. It's default I believe as I already mentioned.

    Thank you! In case you all have an idea about another annoying feature: Is there a way to prevent the login screen username and password pane from moving from the right of the screen to the left?

    I have read the full message before it was edited 😀

    May be an SR can be opened and suggest the changes.
