Portal User Idle Timeout:

Former Member

Hello Folks,

Can someone tell me if there is a way in standard SAP Portal to set a timeout value for the user inactive/idle time period or what is a good way to achieve this.

I have reviewed earlier posts on SDN that talk about session-timeout value in web.xml, login-ticket lifetime period and some custom implementation and most posts don't know what they are talking about.

I have Portal versions: EP 6.0 SP02 & EP 6.0 SP15

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Phani,

It is not possible to set the session timeout in the portal. You can set the session to terminate after an absolute time,but not to terminate after a particular length of idleness.

Please check the  following notes on portal session inactivity:

SAP Note 1650050 and  SAP Note 1599643.

Hi,

I have requirement that portal session should expire if user is inactive for 15 mins.

How about setting GroupCleanup.groupExpiration parameter to 15 mins as suggested in note 1599643  for this requirement?

Has anyone used this parameter for such requirement?

Hi Apurva,

I have not seen any customer using this parameter for idle time out. This parameter is specific to application integrater iview. You can try it.

Hello Praveen: Thanks for your response. I have already reviewed those links and they talk about setting the logon ticket parameter to achieve a possible solution. This setting has the negative effect that it also knocks off the active users from the Portal upon the expiration of the ticket time period.

I am trying to figure out how/when the parameter session-timeout in web.xml works. I am thinking that the value session-timeout=30 works before you configure the single-signon or the UME.

I am using the ABAP system as the datasource for the UME in my Portal. Any thoughts are really appreciated.

Hi,

I have similar requirement.

Is there any way to achieve ideal session log-off in portal without custom coding.
