9.3 Using Advanced Network Information Settings

9.3.1 Changing the Vibe Session Timeout

By default, if a user’s Novell Vibe session is idle for four hours (240 minutes), Vibe logs the idle user out. For increased convenience to Vibe users, you can make the session timeout interval longer. For increased security for your Vibe site, you can make the session timeout shorter.

ADVANCED VIBE INSTALLATION SUMMARY SHEET

Under Network Information, specify the session timeout interval (in minutes) for your Vibe site.

Complete the planning process for additional Advanced installation features as needed, then perform the Advanced installation as described in Section 10.0, Performing an Advanced Vibe Installation.

9.3.2 Providing a Secure Keystore File

For your convenience, the Vibe software includes a self-signed public certificate that enables you to specify secure HTTP and listen ports during installation. This certificate is stored in the .keystore file in the following directory:

Linux:

/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/conf

Windows:

c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat\conf

To ensure secure SSL connections for your Vibe site, you should replace the self-signed public certificate with a public certificate issued by a valid certificate authority.

ADVANCED VIBE INSTALLATION SUMMARY SHEET

Under Network Information, specify the name and location of the public certificate.

If you do not already have a permanent public certificate for your Vibe server, see Securing HTTP Browser Connections in Site Security in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Administration Guide.

Complete the planning process for additional Advanced installation features as needed, then perform the Advanced installation as described in Section 10.0, Performing an Advanced Vibe Installation.
