CA IDM session timeout

[Yashpal Singh]

Hi,

 

I am trying to change the default (30mins) idle session timeout for Identity manager 12.6 SP8 in web.xml

   <session-config>
      <!-- 30 minutes -->
      <session-timeout>10</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

under ../iam_im.ear/user_console.war/WEB-INF to 10 mins but still it is timing out only after 30mins. We have SSO 12.7 intergrated with IDM and I tried to change the idle timeout at realm level also but still timeouts after 30mins.

Can anyone help me to achieve this?

Not sure which Application Server is being used (i.e. WebSphere, Weblogic, JBoss EAP, Wildfly). Could it be that you have to redeploy the jar file after the web.xml change?

Hi Kenny, We are using IBM WebSphere 8.5.5.8. Are you suggesting to redeploy the iam .ear file? Not sure why we have redeploy the .ear file for timeout settings. Can you give more detail on it?

I found the following KB artical and it only mentions editing the web.xml file which you said you already did.

Configuring Identity Manager timeout settings - CA Knowledge 

 

I wasn't sure if you had to redeploy the .ear file in WebSphere after making the change to the web.xml file.

Kenny, I have followed the document but it didn't work.

Did you check the webagent log ?

 

The Idle time out value got reflected to the log ?  Can you check the value in the log ?

Hi Ram,

 

Are you asking to check webagent log? I have made the changes in web.xml under IDM's iam_im.ear/user_console.war/WEB-INF, not sure how webagent will be affected.

Assuming you are using wildfly/JBOSS  as web server and if you have updated  "iam_im.ear" with the timeout value in the /deployments directory, then a restart of the app server would read the old "iam_im.ear" and use that version. To force usage of the new war file, use either a jboss-cli command/alternatively, reboot with the .dodeploy entry in the deployments folder. This will ensure that the server reference version is updated as well and you won't run the risk of war overwriting with old version upon further reboots.

Hi kumsa29, We are using WebSphere 8.5.5.8 application server. Can you please guide how to re-deploy the .ear file in websphere?

In case of WebSphere you can follow the following KB Article:

How to modify files in an EAR in WebSphere without - CA Knowledge 

 

Just for additional Reference ( Here information is a bit complex but it does contain the information about the redeployment):

Redeploying the EAR File - CA Identity Manager - 14.1 - CA Technologies Documentation 

 

Moreover, you can refer to standard IBM WebSphere documentation on how to redeploy the ear file.
