Persistent login timeout for Reactive Web OS11 in minutes
Question
Application Type
Reactive

I see there are a lot of forum posts on this already, and a lot of documentation.

From what I see, if you want to use persistent login, with a Reactive web app, then the timeout can only be set in days and not minutes. I.e. the min auto logout time is 1 day. I ideally want something closer to 20 minutes - like the session logout time - but I want the user to not have top relogin after closing the app... so I want the best of both worlds here...

Is this true and is there really no way around this/best of both? (besides resorting to building custom logic).

Hi Nicholas,


There are a few settings that can be set for this in Service Center, explained in detail in the Configure App Authentication documentation.


In short, you can do that via Service Center - Administration - Security and clicking Applications Authentication option:


I suggest taking into account the descriptions on Service Center and on the document, as the name of the settings can be very similar at a first glance.

They should help you accomplish what you need.


Kind Regards,
João

Hi João, my question is more specific than that what you have sent here - I am looking to use minutes where the only input is in days...

Hi Nicholas,


Some are in minutes (to re-authenticate silently), some are in days (for the user to really need to login again), and I thought it would be enough for your idea to get "the best of both worlds".

Do you really want to logout the user in less than 1 day? I'm asking this because that's not common, at least for me as a user with a few apps on the phone.

As far as I know, the most common scenarios is to "protect" absences of a few minutes or re-entering the app with a pin code or fingerprint.


Kind Regards,
João

Thanks João

Yes a ~20 minute timeout is desired - like that which is the default for Traditional apps I believe?


Do you know of any way to achieve this as you could with Traditional apps?
