jhipster session timeout configuration

Question

I downloaded JHipster from git and tried to understand how to configure session timeout but couldn't find any web.xml or java-based class for that.

Could you please help me figure out how can I configure session timeout for example to be 20 min?

Answer 1

This is a Spring Boot configuration.

You can configure it in your application-*.yml file:

server:
    port: 8080
    address: localhost
    sessionTimeout: 20000

Answer 2

in your application-*.yml file:

server:
    port: 8080
    address: localhost
    sessionTimeout: 20000

is OK for 20 minutes but if you want to have more 30 minutes your access Token validity ("tokenValidityInSeconds" attribute) is 30 minutes by default. You can configue this attribute in application.yml file.

Example for 3 hours = 180 minutes = 10800 secondes:

authentication:
    oauth:
        clientid: testspsyapp
        secret: mySecretOAuthSecret
        # Token is valid 3 hours
        tokenValidityInSeconds: 10800

Do not to forget the changes "sessionTimeout" attribut to your application-*.yml file :)

server:
    port: 8080
    address: localhost
    sessionTimeout: 180000

Answer 3

I know this is an old question but the answer needed to be updated as the config setting being called is deprecated. You'll want to use this instead.

    server:
        port: 8080
        servlet:
          session:
            timeout: 60s
