Configuring session timeouts

As an Administrator, you can configure session timeouts for Data Science & AI Workbench platform users, to help you adhere to your organization’s security standards or enforce policies.

You’ll use the Administrative Console’s Authentication Center to set the various parameters related to session timeouts:

1. Open the My Account dropdown menu and select Admin Console.

2. Select Manage Users to access the Keycloak user interface (UI).

3. Log in using your Keycloak admin account credentials.

4. Select Realm Setting from the left-hand navigation.

5. Click the Tokens tab at the top to display the following:

   

6. Use the available configuration options to specify maximum thresholds for each aspect of user sessions, including the following:

   • Time limits for idle browser sessions and single sign on (SSO) tokens
   • Lifespans for OpenID access tokens
   • Time limits for login-related actions, such as resetting a forgotten password

   Configuration option	Description
   Revoke Refresh Token	If enabled, limits refresh tokens to one-time use
   SSO Session Idle	User will be logged out of session if inactive for this length of time
   SSO Session Max	Maximum time a user session can remain active, regardless of activity
   Offline Session Idle	Amount of time an offline session can be idle before the access token is revoked
   Access Token Lifespan	Amount of time an access token will remain valid, before expiring
   Access Token Lifespan For Implicit Flow	Timeout for access tokens created with Implicit Flow—no refresh token is provided
   Client login timeout	Maximum time a client can take to complete the authorization process
   Login timeout	Maximum time a user can take to authenticate before the process restarts
   Login action timeout	Maximum time a user can spend on any one page in the authentication process
   User-Initiated Action Lifespan	Maximum time before a user-initiated action (for example, forgot password email) expires
   Default Admin-Initiated Action Lifespan	Maximum time before an admin-initiated action (for example, issue token to user) expires
   Override User-Initiated Action Lifespan	Use to optionally configure different timeouts for each user-initiated action
