The PINIdleTimeout property lets you set different inactivity timeouts according to mobile app type. The property provides the option that higher-security apps like the Mobile Agent app can lock sooner, while lower-risk apps, like the Now Mobile app, can give users more time before reprompting to log in.

주:

If this property isn't defined, the default PIN timeout is 300 seconds.
