Expiry of User Sessions

When a browser session is idle for 15 minutes OPERA Cloud will automatically log out. You are provided a 2 minute warning prior to OPERA Cloud disconnecting an idle session.

If you are accessing OPERA Cloud through multiple browser tabs:

  • The session is kept alive in all tabs as long as you are active in one of the tabs.

  • If a session becomes idle, then all tabs receive the two minute popup warning that the session is about to expire.

  • If a sessions continues to idle, all tabs will show the Session Expired popup and will be disconnected.

Note:

A 15-minute idle session time out is implemented according to PCI-DSS Best Practices, Requirement 8.2.8. For more information, see pcisecuritystandards
