How do I set global user session limits?

Purpose

You can configure limits for NSP user sessions such as maximum inactivity time, maximum GUI sessions per user, and so on. These configurations are set globally and apply to all users. They cannot be configured per user.

Steps
 
1 

Open Users and Security.

2 

Click png1.png More Actions, Settings.

3 

In the Users and Security Settings form, click Session Settings.

4 

Configure user session limits in any of the following ways:

UI Session Inactivity Timeout 1

The number of minutes of user session inactivity before the user is automatically logged out of NSP. GUI activity in an NSP session includes any mouse movement, mouse clicks, or typing in an NSP GUI window.

Maximum Session Time

The absolute maximum length of a user session (in minutes) before the user is automatically logged out of NSP.

Maximum Time to Complete Login

The maximum time allowed (in minutes) for a user to complete an NSP login.

Maximum Time to Complete Login Steps

The maximum time allowed (in minutes) for an NSP login sequence that involves multiple steps; for example, if the user must change their password during login.

Maximum UI Sessions Per User 2

The maximum number of simultaneous GUI sessions per user account.

When this parameter is set to zero, the number of sessions per user is unlimited.

Maximum OSS Sessions Per User

The maximum number of simultaneous OSS sessions per user account.

When this parameter is set to zero, the number of sessions per user is unlimited.

OSS Access Token Lifespan

The number of minutes before an OSS access token expires.

Notes:

  1. Some NSP UI views are in continuous communication while in use, and a user session does not become idle as long as the user has that view open, such as when viewing an alarm list.

  2. If a user login attempt exceeds the Maximum UI Sessions Per User limit, the sign-in page displays an error message. If you increase the parameter value to allow more sessions per user, refreshing the sign-in page with the error message opens a session using the previously entered credentials.
