Session timeout adjustable in 23.01?
-
I updated my SG-3100 yesterday (and my test VM too) from 22.05 to 23.01.
What I noticed at both systems: the session for the web access is canceled after a certain period of time.
Until to this firmware version I used to login to the dashboard and stayed there sometimes for several days.
Since 23.01 the session ends after xxx? hours/minutes and a new login is required.Bug or feature? If feature, is the session timeout value somewhere adjustable?
I know, minor issue, but...
Regards

The timeout can be adjusted on System > User Manager, Settings tab. It's been there for years and nothing really changed in this release in that area.

Ooops.
Cant remember that I did set this some years ago...
Anyhow, if so, the setting was overwritten.
I did search in "General Setup" and "Advanced", but not in user manager.
Thanks for pointing to right direction.Regards

The value shouldn't have changed on its own there, it is empty by default which leads to a timeout of
240minutes. If you want to disable it you can set it to0but that's not a good idea.What value should it have had? And what value did it have after upgrade?

@jimp My sessions seem to be timing out after few hours, despite the timeout being set to 1800 minutes.

@jimp : Dashboard never dies out before updating, even when not at the page over weekend.
When in other screens it dies after ??? minutes/hours.
But after updating to 23.01 the timeout field was blank (default).The second issue I noticed is that the one reported here.
That my CP modifications are gone, that did I expect, I modified the pages and can use QR codes again.
Also the UPS setting in nut was changed. After updating I always got a "UPS qnapups is unavailable" at console.
Actually I need to reconfigure the connection:
Old entry for nut in 22.05 XML:
<type>local_usb</type>
<usb_driver>usbhid-ups</usb_driver>Now in 23.01 its
<type>remote_apcupsd</type>
<remote_addr>192.168.2.1</remote_addr>
which is the IP of the pfSense.
The UPS is conncted by USB to the appliance, but setting from 22.05 will not work any longer.Thats currently all I noticed with 23.01, update was smooth (I have had requested and downloaded the recovery image in advance, so I was relaxed
).Regards

@ebcdic said in Session timeout adjustable in 23.01?:
@jimp My sessions seem to be timing out after few hours, despite the timeout being set to 1800 minutes.
Looking at the logs, I now suspect these apparent timeouts are not timeouts at all. My computer connects to the router with IPv6, and is using a "temporary" address. So if I refresh a page a few hours later, it may use a new temporary address and thus not appear to be logged in.This might also explain why there are several php-fm processes hanging around on the router, if they are associated with expired temporary addresses.Updated: no, that's not it. I started a session using the IPv4 numeric address, and it timed out too.

I've occasionally seen a session end earlier than expected but not consistently.
Any events in the logs around the time the session unexpectedly expired?
