    • Manage access to an instance by configuring how long integration sessions last before expiring.

    Similar to user sessions, you can secure your instance by configuring when to time out an integration session after a period of inactivity and a maximum active session time. By default, integration session time out after five minutes of inactivity.

    Configure a maximum active time for integration sessions

    Secure your instance by enforcing a maximum time for sessions regardless of integration activity.

    About this task

    By default, sessions expire only after a period of inactivity. Enforcing a maximum active session time ends sessions regardless of if an integration has been active recently. The active session timeout should be greater than the value configured for the inactive session timeout. For example, if sessions are configured to time out after 30 minutes of inactivity, the active session timeout should be greater than 30 minutes.

    Procedure

    1. In the navigation filter, enter sys_properties.list.
    2. Select New.
    3. On the form, fill in the fields.
      Table 1. System Property form
      Field Description
      Name glide.active.session.timeout.invalidate.session
      Description Specifies whether integration sessions can be invalidated by configuring a maximum active session time.
      Type true | false
      Value true
    4. Select Submit.
    5. From the System Property [sys_properties] list, open the glide.integrations.active.session.life_span property.
    6. In the Value field, enter the number of minutes before integration sessions time out regardless of user activity.
      The value should be greater than the value of glide.integration.session_timeout for inactive integration session timeout. By default, the inactive session timeout for integration sessions is five minutes.
    7. Select Update.

    Result

    Integrations are logged out of the instance after the time specified and their credentials must be entered again to access the instance. This setting helps secure an instance using integrations, such as the REST API.
