The Authentication Session Settings allows administrators to customize the login settings for their enterprise. These settings govern how long a session can last before users are prompted to re-enter their login credentials:
- Persistent Login: If enabled, users will remain logged into PPM until they hit the session timeout limit, even if the browser is closed and restarted. When disabled, user sessions time out after 4 hours, or when the user closes the browser.
Note: When a user opens PPM on multiple browsers, a single user authentication session applies to all browsers being used. If a user logs out of PPM on one browser, they will be logged out on all other browsers.
- Sliding Expiration: If enabled, the sliding expiration option will reset the session timeout clock when the user accesses PPM during the second half of the timeout period.
- Session Timeout: Session timeout periods are selected from a dropdown menu. The time periods range in duration from 15 minutes to 28 days.
To customize the Authentication Session Settings:
- Open the Admin Zone and click on Security Properties. This option is listed under the Enterprise Settings.
- Scroll down to Authentication Session Settings.
- Click on the checkbox to enable or disable Persistent Login. If this option is enabled, users remain logged in even after a browser close and restart.
- Click on the checkbox to enable or disable Sliding Expiration. If this option is enabled, The timeout "clock" resets to its original length when the user accesses PPM during the second half of the timeout period.
- Select a session timeout duration from the dropdown list. Possible session timeouts range from 15 minutes to 28 days.
- Click the Save button to save your changes.
