Configure when idle sessions should time out

You can customize when user sessions should time out and a user is automatically signed out. The setting you choose is applied to the NetBackup Administration Console and the NetBackup web UI. To configure this setting from the command line, use nbsetconfig to set the GUI_IDLE_TIMEOUT option.

To configure when idle sessions should time out

  1. Select Security > User sessions.
  2. Click User account settings.
  3. Turn on Session idle timeout and click Edit.
  4. Select the number of minutes and click Save.

    Wait 3-5 minutes for NetBackup to update the environment with the changes. Or, restart the NetBackup web services to apply the changes immediately. For active users, the updates are applied the next time the user signs in.
