## 15.6. Appendix F: Setting the HTTP Session Timeout

When a user connects to the EKM server through a client, such as the web client, an HTTP session is established for the user on the EKM server. To prevent inactive sessions from staying open for too long and consuming resources unnecessarily, the EKM server will time out inactive HTTP sessions after a predefined period of idle time. When the HTTP session times out, the EKM session will also be invalidated, requiring the user to sign in again. The HTTP session timeout period is governed by a setting in the EKM server configuration, and is set to the value you provide in the ANSYS EKM Server product installation. You can also adjust the HTTP session timeout of the EKM server manually after installation by following these instructions:

1. On each EKM cluster node, stop the EKM server.

2. On the primary cluster node, edit `EKM_HOME/conf/ekm.xml` and update the value of `sessionTimeout` (shown in bold) to the desired HTTP session timeout, in minutes:

       <sessionTimeout>30</sessionTimeout>

3. On each EKM cluster node, start the EKM server.
