17 Configuring Web Application

As an Oracle Financial Services Administrator, you can customize features in the Web Application UI. This chapter contains information about configuring session time out.

Configuring the Session Timeout Setting

As an Oracle Financial Services Administrator, you can set the inactive web application users to automatically log off by setting the number of minutes that a user can remain inactive. This results in an automatic user log-off that terminates the user's session.

For more information on how to set the duration before logout for inactive sessions, see the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure User Guide.

Configuring the Session Timeout Setting for Admin Tools

As Oracle Financial Services Administrator, you can optionally log off inactive Web Application users by establishing a set number of minutes that a user can remain inactive. This results in an automatic user log-off that terminates the user’s session.

To modify the idle session timeout for idle or inactive users, follow these steps:

1. Open the web.xml file associated with the WebLogic or WebSphere application.
2. You can find this file in the WEB-INF directory under each Web application in the Oracle Financial Services installation.
3. Modify the XML code within the file that contains <session-config>inits <session-descriptor>entry.
4. Do this by setting the <session-timeout>part of the entry so that the number of minutes equals the current quantity of minutes of inactivity that result in a log off.
5. Save the changes.
6. After setting the parameter to 30 minutes, the edited XML code should look similar to the following:

   <session-config>
   <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
   </session-config>
