Description | This article describes why secret sessions get a timeout every 2 hours. |
Scope | FortiPAM. |
Solution | Users launch a secret session to target host which are protected from direct external access. Secrets do have the credentials of the target host and are entered when a user launches a secret. Upon launching, users have observed that the session gets automatically disconnected after 2 hours. This is a security measure taken to protect the target host from unwanted, lengthy sessions. This is a global setting that can be changed as per the environmental requirements. The default value is 120 minutes. This setting applies to all types of launches: System -> Settings -> Advanced -> Others -> Max Launching Duration.
