Setting the Time to Log Users Off Oracle BI Presentation Services Automatically

You can override the time to elapse, in minutes, before a user is automatically logged off. This setting applies only to users who do not have the following option selected at the Log In screen:

Remember my ID and password

If this value expires before the value set in the entry ConnectionExpireMinutes, the user can log back in to the existing session. For information about the ConnectionExpireMinutes entry, read Setting the Time to Expire for Idle Oracle BI Presentation Services Client Connections.

The default is 180 (three hours). You can change the number of minutes by modifying the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml).

The following entry is an example:

<LogonExpireMinutes>180</LogonExpireMinutes>

NOTE:  You can disable this setting by setting it to a value greater than the value for the setting ClientSessionExpireMinutes, described in Setting the Time to Expire for Oracle BI Presentation Services Client Sessions.

For information about working in the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml), read Making Oracle BI Presentation Services Configuration Changes.
