Is there any way to set how long before a users session times out? What is the default setting, i feel like i have to long back in consistently.

Hello Kristian,

When LastActivityDate is less then ExpiredSessionsLastLoginDate ( you are logged in before ExpiredSessionsLastLoginDate) your session expires.

There is a public property BackendUsersSessionTimeout of SecurityConfig which is used for setting ExpiredSessionsLastLoginDate. The default value of BackendUsersSessionTimeout is 1 hour and 58 minutes.

We clear the loggingCookie. You could be logged out if the applicaiton is restarted which also clears the loggingCookie, you are trying to use different IP to access the backend or different machine.

Best wishes,
