To Extend InterWorx Session Timeout
-----------------------------------

#. Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal
#. At the CLI, using a text editor, open ``~iworx/iworx.ini``. The following example uses the Vim text editor:

   .. code-block::

      vim ~iworx/iworx.ini

#. Under the ``[session]`` heading, edit the ``idle_timeout`` setting. This setting is in seconds. By default, it is 
   set to ``1200``. Example:

   .. code-block::

      [session]
      idle_timeout="1200"
      life="0"

#. Save the file and exit the text editor
