The following are some post-installation configurations you may want to make.

7.12.1 How to Adjust HTTP Session Timeout

The default timeout value for an inactive user session is 30 minutes. This means that when a user closes their browser without logging out first, their user session and any open host sessions will be cleaned up after 30 minutes. You can configure this setting on the server.

  1. Open <install directory>/sessionserver/microservices/sessionserver/service.yml.

  2. Adjust the session timeout value in the env section of the file:

     - name: server.servlet.session.timeout
       value: <desired-time-in-seconds>

    HINT:The indentation formatting is important.

  3. Restart the server.

7.12.2 How to enable FIPS level security

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validated cryptographic modules are used by the US federal government as a security regulation standard. Host Access for the Cloud supports this standard and you can easily enable FIPS mode by editing a file in the session server.

  • Open <install_directory>\sessionserver\microservice\sessionserver\service.yml.

  • Add the flagĀ -Dcom.attachmate.integration.container.FIPS.enabled=true to the appropriate OS specific Java command; for Unix - start-command, for Windows - start-command-win.

  • Restart the server.

  • To ensure that FIPS mode is enabled, open <install_directory>\sessionserver\logs\sessionserver.log and verify that FIPS mode is set to true; FIPS mode: true.
