Change session timeout

By default, the session timeout is for 100 days. This means that a user will get logged out only after 100 days of inactivity.

This value can be changed by:

• Changing the refresh_token_validity value (time in mins): Determines the overall session timeout.
  • The default is 100 days.
• Changing the access_token_validity value (time in seconds): Does not affect the overall session timeout, but affects how often session refreshing occurs.
  • The default is 1 hour.
  • This time does not determine the user experience, but only the security of the overall session system.
