Problem

If you regularly use iManager, the default timeout of 30 minutes probably annoys the heck out of you as much as it does me.

The TID 10090339 at:
http://www.novell.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=10090339&sliceId=&dialogID=48644641&stateId=0%200%2048650369

tells you how to do it for iManager 1.5, 2.5, 2.6, and iManager Mobile for 2.6 as well. However, the location for 2.7 is slightly different (mostly because they now use Tomcat5 instead of Tomcat4).

Solution

The file to edit on Linux (as per the TID, the syntax is still the same) is:

/var/opt/novell/tomcat5/webapps/nps/WEB-INF/web.xml

Otherwise, it is much the same. For Mobile iManager 2.7 the path is:

<installed-path>/imanager/tomcat/conf/web.xml
