GSA inactivity timeout

[Jack Harvey]

I would like to extend the inactivity-timeout for users in GSA, but cannot find where this might be adjusted.

Hey

from OpenVAS Website, Virtual Appliance:
Web timeout: If you want to increase the web timeout to for example 1 hour, then you should add "--timeout=60" to DAEMON_ARGS in /etc/default/greenbone-security-assistant and then restart.
I think the path won’t be the same for you…

I made some other changes for the init.d services:
/ect/init.d/gsad (line 47,48):
# idle timeout
[ "$IDLE_TIMEOUT" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS --timeout=$IDLE_TIMEOUT"

this will be loaded by /ect/init.d/gsad.

/ect/sysconfig/gsad (line 63-67):
#
# Minutes of user idle time before session expires.
#

IDLE_TIMEOUT=60

Good Luck,
Rene

Thanks! I am testing this now...waiting for time to pass. Actually, the path is /etc/default/greenbone-security assistant...running OpenVAS on Ubuntu.

You can test it with 1 min, so you don’t have to wait 60 min :P

As in the below case for the adding of $IDLE_TIMEOUT to the /etc/init.d/greenbone-security-assistant file (which worked for me) , is there a list somewhere of possible parameters to be used?
