Modifying LTPA timeout

Edit online

The default Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) timeout value can be modified to meet requirements.

Before you begin

LTPA timeout value is a WebSphere Application Server global security setting. To change it, you require access to the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console. Only an admin user can change this setting.

About this task

The LTPA timeout value default is 480 minutes (eight hours), after which the authentication token that enables the single-signon across Netcool Configuration Manager interfaces expires. This means, for example, that GUIs that have been open for over eight hours, or have been left open over night, are closed automatically. You can change this value to suit your requirements.

Procedure

  1. Access the Integrated Solutions Console on the server on which the DASH is installed. Use the following URL: https://<server ip>:18101/ibm/console where server ip is the IP address of the TIP server.
  2. Log onto the console as the superuser.
  3. Select Global Security under Security on the left hand side.
    The Global Security window is displayed.
  4. In the Authentication section, click LTPA.
    The Global Security>LTPA window is displayed.
  5. Adjust the value in the LTPA timeout text field as required.
  6. Click OK to save your changes.
