Changing the Web Admin timeout duration

Detailed Information:

To change the timeout period for how long webadmin can remain logged in and idle before you need to log back in, you need to modify the resin.conf file:

  1. In the EMF installation directory, find the file ..\Tumbleweed\Email Firewall\Resin\Conf\resin.conf
  2. Make a backup copy of this file.
  3. Open the original resin.conf in notepad.
  4. Find the following section, (about 1/3 the way down):

    &ltsession-config&gt
    &ltsession-timeout&gt30&ltsession-timeout&gt
    &ltsession-config&gt


  5. Update the value (default 30) which is in minutes.
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Restart the webadmin service.
