TMOS 9.x Configuration Utility Timeout

hi all.

 

How can i configure the configuration utility timeout. my understanding, Beginning in BIG-IP version 10.0.0, an idle timeout was added to automatically log out inactive Configuration utility sessions after a specified idle time. Note: The idle timeout cannot be disabled.

 

isn't there any other way to configure timeout of configuration utility ?

    Hi Sunkwan, the access to the v9 WebUI is not session based. Basic authentication is used (if I remember right) and you can cross check the related headers (and initial server response for the unauthorized access) by running a browser plugin.

     

    Therefore you cannot apply an idle timeout for WebUI access. The WebUI is even still available after you reboot your TMOS v9 unit.

     

    Thanks, Stephan
