Session management

Learn how browser sessions are handled in the Cúram application. A browser session can be defined as a continuous period of user activity in the web browser, where successive events are separated by no more than 30 minutes.

The following are common examples of when a Cúram browser session is started or finished:

A session starts when a user first logs into the application.
As long as the user is actively using the browser, the session remains active.
If the browser is left inactive for a period of time, the session will timeout. In this case, the user will be required to log back in and a new session is started.

The default timeout is 30 minutes, but this can be configured using the application server's configuration settings. See the Cúram Deployment Guide for more information on application server configuration.
The user can explicitly logout, using the logout link in the application banner. The session is terminated in this case and logging back in will start a new one.
The browser is shutdown and a new browser instance is started. In this case, a new session is started and the user will be required to log in.
