Configuring browser timeout options
HP SIM enables you to configure the browser timeout settings to one of the following. These settings affect
the browser session while signed in to the HP SIM GUI.
Monitor When the timeout option is configured to monitor, the HP SIM session remains alive and is
continually refreshed unless you close the browser or navigate to another site. If you close the browser, the
session is immediately closed. If you navigate to another site, HP SIM signs you out after 20 minutes. This
option is the default and appears in the globalsettings.props file as
EnableSessionKeepAlive=true.
Active When the timeout option is configured to remain active, the HP SIM session remains alive as long
as you are actively working in HP SIM. However, HP SIM ends your session and signs you out after 20
minutes of inactivity.
You can change the timeout settings to monitor or active by editing the globalsettings.props file.
To configure the timeout setting to active:
