How To: Extend InterWorx Session Timeout

By default, InterWorx sessions time out after 20 minutes if left idle. Server Administrators may customize this setting, via the CLI.

To Extend InterWorx Session Timeout

  1. Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal

  2. At the CLI, using a text editor, open ~iworx/iworx.ini. The following example uses the Vim text editor:

    vim ~iworx/iworx.ini

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

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

  4. Save the file and exit the text editor
