Timeout Guest Sessions

  • Release version: Zurich
  • Updated July 31, 2025
  • 1 minute to read
  • Use a system property to control the inactive session timeout for unauthenticated users.

    Use the glide.guest.session_timeout system property to set the inactive session timeout duration (in minutes) for unauthenticated users. Raise the value of this property to extend the time your instance persists sessions beyond the default of 30 minutes. Avoid large timeout values, which can increase the number of sessions persisted by the instance, and cause minor availability concerns.
