Hi,
I tried setting "Session Soft Timeout" to 60 minutes, clicking apply, save and rebooting.
After connecting to and logging in to the web GUI , I'm logged out automatically from the switch after Avery short period of time, perhaps 2 minutes or so.
Is there any trick to making the timeout setting work?
Update #1:
I looked at the requests from the switch GUI page, every few seconds there is a GET request to :
http://<switch name>/.../hpe/device/authenticate_user.xml
In Google Chrome, when "Settings > Performance > Memory saver" is enabled and the tab is put in background ( e.g. when another tab is selected) it appears the "authenticate" timer does not fire at regular intervals, resulting in a rapid logout.
If the switch hostname is added to the "Always keep these sites active" list, the session timeout seems to behave better...
Thanks ,
