Change Prime Infrastructure User Settings

Change Your Idle-User Timeout

Prime Infrastructure provides two settings that control when and how idle users are automatically logged out:

  • User Idle Timeout—You can disable or configure this setting, which ends your user session automatically when you exceed the timeout. It is enabled by default and is set to 10 minutes. The User Idle Timeout value must be lesser or equal to the Global Idle Timeout vlaue.
  • Global Idle Timeout—The Global Idle Timeout is enabled by default and is set to 10 minutes. Only users with administrative privileges can disable the Global Idle Timeout setting or change its time limit.

Note

Prime Infrastructure will log out the idle user based on the lesser Timeout value.


You may find it useful to disable the user idle timeout feature if, for example, you are an Operations Center user experiencing sudden log-offs, due to idle sessions, with one or more Prime Infrastructure instances managed by Operations Center. For details, see the section Disable Idle User Timeouts for Operations Center in the chapter Set Up the Prime Infrastructure Server in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Administrator Guide. .

To change the timeout settings, follow these steps:

Procedure


Step 1

Click the Settings icon and choose My Preferences.

Step 2

Under User Idle Timeout:

  • Change the check status of the check box next to Logout idle user to enable or disable your idle timeout.

  • From the Logout idle user after drop-down list, choose one of the idle timeout limits.

Step 3

Click Save. You will need to log out and log back in for this change to take effect.

For details, see the section Disable Idle User Timeouts for Operations Center in the chapter Set Up the Prime Infrastructure Server in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Administrator Guide. .
