Preventing IWSVA Console Time-outs

The InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance (IWSVA) console is set to automatically time out after 30 minutes of inactivity.  

To change the default time-out interval:

  1. Open the file location specified below.

/etc/iscan/AdminUI/tomcat/conf/web.xml

  1. Using an ASCII text editor such as Notepad, open web.xml and locate the following section (use Find... with the keyword session-timeout):

<!-- ============== Default Session Configuration ================= -->

<!You can set the default session timeout (in minutes) for all newly->

<!-- created sessions by modifying the value below -->

<session-config>

<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>

</session-config>

<!-- ============== Default Session Configuration ============= -->

  1. Replace the current value (which is 30 in the example above) with your new time out interval.

  2. Save and close the file, and then restart the IWSVA console service on the IWSVA server.
