Problem

The iManager Session times out, requiring you to log in again too frequently.

Solution

Using the Tomcat documentation I was able to find that there is a <session-timeout> parameter. The default is that it is set for 30 minutes. To change it for a different time (usually longer time) you need to edit this file:

.\imanager\tomcat\conf\web.xml

and search for the <session-timeout> parameter. The full section looks like this:

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

The default is 30 minutes. For my purposes, I wanted a very long timeout and I changed the parameter to make it 2 days long:

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>2880</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

You can change it to whatever works best for you.

Example

Modify the C:\Novell\imanager\tomcat\conf\web.xml file in this section:

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>2880</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

Environment

iManager 2.6 Mobile for Windows is what I used and tested, but it should work for any Tomcat application. Be aware that this may affect your other Tomcat applications as well, which may be unintended or unwanted.

This should work on NetWare and OES or wherever iManager using Tomcat is involved.

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
