Configure inactivity timeout settings

The Tricentis Vera Web Portal tracks the inactivity of the users who are signed in. If a user is inactive for the configured amount of time or longer, they will be automatically signed out of the system. Note that users are warned before the automatic timeout.

The configure the automatic timeout time, follow these steps:

1. Open one of these files:

   • config.yaml file for the Web Portal.

   • docker-compose.yml file (environment variables) for the Web Portal container. For more information, see Supported environment variables.

2. Configure the Inactivity Timeout settings in one of the files you've opened during the previous step:

   • idleTimeoutMinutes specifies the time of inactivity in minutes that the Web Portal waits before automatically signing an inactive user out. The default is 10 minutes if the setting is missing or misconfigured.

   • idlePromptSeconds specifies how long (in seconds) before the timeout the Web Portal sends a warning. The default is 120 seconds if the setting is missing or misconfigured.

     config.yaml setting	Environment variable	Default setting
     idleTimeoutMinutes	VERA_WEB_PORTAL_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MINUTES	10 minutes
     idlePromptSeconds	VERA_WEB_PORTAL_IDLE_PROMPT_SECONDS	120 seconds

Note: You need to update only one file. If you configure the settings in both files, the Web Portal prioritizes the environment variable and disregards the config.yaml file settings.
