Connection Timeouts

It is important to set administrative session timeouts on the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller for security purposes. If you leave an active configuration session unattended, reconfiguration access is left open to anyone. By setting a connection timeout, only a short amount of time needs to elapse before the password is required for Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller access.

Timeouts determine the specified time period that must pass before an administrative connection is terminated. Any subsequent configuration activity can only be performed after logging in again to the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller. The timeout parameter can be individually specified for Telnet sessions and for console port sessions.

After the Telnet timeout passes, the Telnet session is disconnected. You must use your Telnet program to log in to the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller once again to perform any further configuration activity.

After the console timeout passes, the console session is disconnected. The current session ends and you are returned to the login prompt on the console connection into the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller.
