Configuring the Jamf Pro Server Session Timeout
This article explains how to increase or decrease the amount of time before the session times out and prompts you to re-authenticate to Jamf Pro. Depending on your version of Jamf Pro, you can configure the maximum inactivity interval (previously called "session-timeout" variable) by doing one of the following:
-
(Jamf Pro 10.21.0 or later) Configure the variable in the session.properties file, which allows multiple Jamf Pro web applications to have different maximum inactive interval variables, but requires you to re-configure the changes each time Jamf Pro is upgraded.
-
(Jamf Pro 8.2—10.20.0) Configure the variable in the Jamf web.xml file, which allows multiple Jamf Pro web applications to have different session-timeout variables, but requires you to re-configure the changes each time Jamf Pro is upgraded.
(Jamf Pro 8.2—10.20.0) Configure the variable in the Tomcat web.xml file, which applies universal changes to the variable that will carry over each time Jamf Pro is upgraded, without the option to have different session-timeout variable settings on each Jamf Pro web application.
General Requirements
Admin access to the Jamf Pro host server is required to modify the Jamf Pro server session timeout.
