Oracle^® SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7 Security Guide

Configure the Administrative Interface Timeout (Oracle ILOM CLI)

Oracle ILOM supports the ability to disconnect and log out administrative CLI sessions that have been inactive for more than a predefined number of minutes.

By default, the SSH CLI has no specified timeout value, and consequently, administrative users accessing this service remain logged in indefinitely.

For security purposes, set this parameter to match the value associated with the browser user interface. This could be 15 minutes or some other value.

1. On the management network, log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.

2. Check the inactivity timeout parameter associated with the CLI.

   -> show /SP/cli timeout
   /SP/cli
   Properties:
   timeout = 15
   

3. Set the inactivity timeout parameter.

   Replace n with a value specified in minutes.

   -> set /SP/cli timeout=n
   

4. Verify the setting by repeating Step 2.
