Configuring sign-in events
Configure sign-in events to create actionable events for sign-in and sign-out activities.
NOTE: Configuring sign-in events does not affect the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Audit Log.
Sign-in events are always logged in the HP SIM Audit Log.
To configure sign-in events:
1. Select Options→Security→Sign-in Event Settings. The Sign-in Event Settings page appears.
2. Select from the following options:
• All sign-in and sign-out activities. Select this option to create events for all sign-in and sign-out
actions.
• Only failed sign-in attempts. Select this option to create events only for sign-in attempts that are
unsuccessful.
• None. Select this option if you do not want to create any events for sign-in or sign-out activities.
3. To save and apply changes, click OK.

Configuring browser timeout options
HP Systems Insight Manager (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 logs 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 logs 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:
1. Open the globalsettings.props file.
• On a Windows operating system, the globalsettings.props file is located in the install
directory/config folder.
• On an HP-UX or Linux operating system, the globalsettings.props file is located in the
/etc/opt/mx/config directory.
2. Change EnableSessionKeepAlive=true to EnableSessionKeepAlive=false.
3. Select File→Save.
The updates are saved.
4. Close the globalsettings.props file.
To change the default timeout:
1. From the HP SIM directory, navigate to:
Windows:
install
directory\jboss\server\hpsim\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat50.sar\conf\web.xml
