User Session Expiration

Configure how long user sessions remain valid before re-authentication is required.

You can configure the session expiration time to determine how long a user stays signed in before a new login is required. When the session is close to expiring, the Admin UI shows a ten minute countdown in the top right corner and users receive a warning message.

Session Expiration Parameters

You can set the session expiration time through the following parameters. The parameter differs between Kubernetes and Docker deployments.
