Be able to set the users' web session timeout

Post by GLR »

As far as I understand the code, the authenticated users' web session timeout is set as hard coded value to 3600 sec.
We would like to be able to customize this value in the Cacti settings (or at least in the config file) in order to avoid getting too much annoying "Access denied" messages.
(Why an hard coded value !?)

Thanks.

If you mentioned about this line, it's not for timeout settings.
setcookie(session_name(),"",time() - 3600,"/");
That's usual method for deleting cookie.

Default session timeout is determined in your php.ini. See the following settings:
- session.cookie_lifetime
- session.gc_maxlifetime
- session.gc_probability
- session.gc_divisor
