How to change timeout session length in KM console

Environment

• Knox Manage (KM)

Overview

Some administrators would like to change the KM console’s session timeout length to a value other than the default 30 minutes. When changing the session timeout through the Admin ID settings menu > Set Session Timeout, the changed timeout value does not persist.

2. Enter your desired session timeout length (maximum 60 minutes).
3. Select Save (floppy disk icon).
4. In the top right corner of the KM console, select the Admin ID settings menu > Set Session Timeout.
5. Enter your desired session timeout length (maximum 60 minutes).
6. Select Save.

The session timeout length is now changed in the KM console.
