Customizing Session Length and Signed-in Options

A session is that period of time during which Privileged Access Service accepts a previous log in from the same browser for authentication. For example, if the session length is 1 hour and the user logs in and then logs out, that user has 1 hour to access the Admin Portal (from the same browser and machine) without needing to enter his credentials. The default session length is 12 hours.

You can also give users the option to stay logged in, the default setting for this option, and define the maximum hours the user can stay signed in. By default, users do not have the option to stay signed in.

To change the default session length:

1. Log in to Admin Portal.

2. Click Access > Policies and select the policy you want to edit or click Add Policy Set to create a new one.

3. Click Login Policies > Delinea Portal.

4. Select Yes in the Enable authentication policy controls drop-down.

5. Scroll to Session Parameters and enter the number of hours for the session length in the Hours until identity cookie expires text box.

6. Click Save.
