Instance doesn't time out users as expected?

Hi folks,

I am having an instance time out issue; referring to   Manage user sessions , I have changed sys_properties

glide.security.csrf.handle.ajax.timeout   = true

glide.ui.session_timeout = 10 (10 minutes just for testing)

glide.ui.auto_req.extend.session = false

One thing I notice that in the instance, the 'Remember me' is not visible probably it has been customized by our company, and I am wondering if I can make it visible again in order to test the time out.

Potentially I was thinking of tracking users' last activity like last time interaction over a session, and implemented a timer to time out users if being idle for a period of time.

Any advice would be highly regarded.

Thanks,

Hello Adam again,


I pulled out the User session report against the testing user I created, and found the one it was successfully logged out has Invalidated '08-02-2018 08:07:59' (the highlighted below)

and I am testing another log-in which has no Invalidated populated above.


Hi Adam,



My 10-minute time out has seemed work and I think I might not need to modify the scheduled job, but will test on more user accounts to see any differences.



Your help is really appreciated!



Regards,
George


@adamjgreenberg can you give a little more explanation to you statement that SSO will override the session_timeout variable?
