Configuration

Session timeouts in Profound UI / Genie are controlled through 2 directives in the HTTP server configuration file. The http server configuration file is located by default at /www/profoundui/conf/httpd.conf. The 'profoundui' portion of the path corresponds to the HTTP server instance name, which can be customized at installation time.

It's not generally advisable to set the session timeout to a very long value. This timeout enables the system to end jobs in the event that the user has shut down their PC, disconnected from the network, etc. If it is desired to prevent session timeout entirely, a better way of acheving this is to use the "keep alive" feature. This will make an intermittent page request to the session job to keep it active, as long as the user has Profound UI / Genie open in the browser:

If this setting is enabled, and set to a value that is less than session job timeout, the session will be "kept alive" as long as the browser is open, while still allowing the server-side session timeout to end jobs if the user shuts down the PC, disconnects from the network, etc.
