13.1 Common Settings
Use the Common Settings page to Provide access to configurable settings that are global and common to all OAM Servers in your environment.
Session
In this section, you can configure Session life cycles.
The following table describes the elements in the Session section of the Common Settings page:
Element | Description |
---|---|
Session Lifetime (minutes) |
Specify the amount of time that a user's authentication session remains active. When the lifetime is reached, the session expires.
Note: An expired session is automatically deleted from the in-memory caches (or database). |
Idle Timeout (minutes) |
Specify the amount of time that a user's authentication session remains active without accessing any Access Manager protected resources. When the user is idle for a longer period, they are asked to re-authenticate.
Note: Timed-out sessions are not deleted from the session manager. Session data could be removed from the memory but will still be available in the persistent store (database). After re-authentication, the same session will be re-activated. |
(Management) Maximum Search Results |
Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be fetched by default for a session query if the result set is large. |
Maximum Number of Sessions per User |
Specify the exact number of sessions each user can have at one time. Use this setting to configure multiple session restrictions for all users.
Note:Too high a number impacts performance and results in a security risk. Oracle recommends less than 20 as a reasonable limit per user. Otherwise there can be performance impact. |
Audit Configuration
In this section, you can manage Audit Configuration.
The following table describes the elements in the Audit Configuration section of the Common Settings page:
Element | Description |
---|---|
Maximum Directory Size (MB) |
Specify the maximum size for the directory that contains audit output files. For Example:
|
Maximum File Size (MB) |
Specify the maximum size for the audit log file. Once the size of the file reaches the maximum size, a new log file is created. For Example: Specifying 10 directs file rotation when the file size reaches 10 MB. |
Filter Enabled |
Check this box to enable event filtering. |
Filter Preset |
