Hi Vincenzo

One quick turnaround solution is to increase the time validity for longer time. You could match the session expiry time set on the application which user uses and session would be expired in that application for inactivity. This session expiration time can be equal to the Alfresco ticket validity.

Set the following property in alfresco-global.properties file:

authentication.ticket.validDuration=PT2H

This example shows the validity is set to 2 hours. 1 hour is the default setting

There is another case here, if you want to see it:

Another solution is to get rid of the dependency on ticket. Implement SSO instead and let SSO takes care of authentication etc. This would take some time to fix the issue until implementation. But you don’t have to be dependent on the alf_ticket.

How do I mention Minutes.

For testing purpose I need to set around 5min.

Could you please let us know.

Thanks

@Rudresh-Nagaraj

You can use following (notice the 'M'):

authentication.ticket.validDuration=PT5M

----------------------------------------
This is how time duration formats PT<number><timeDuration> Look like:

PT2S - 2 seconds

PT2M - 2 minutes

PT2H - 2 hours

PT2H30M - 2 hours 30 minutes

PT2D - 2 days

PT2Y - 2 years
