SessionExpire

Specify the time after which idle user sessions will expire.

Synopsis

The parameter is expected to be a time interval.  The default is "1 hour".

Scope

This directive is only available for use in the local (catalog.cfg) configuration file.  It will not affect any other website in any way.  This directive will not work in the global (interchange.cfg) configuration file. 

Description

A user can close their browser or leave your website at any time, and no indication will be given to the web server apart from the lack of further requests that have the same session ID.

This directive specifies the minimum time that Interchange should keep track of a user's session information.

Note If SessionType is set to "File" or "NFS" then expired session files should be periodically scanned for and removed.  This frees up some disk space and allows old session IDs to be reused.
