What do SSL timeouts for ESXi impact? Does that impact how long a session started by the vSphere Client or Web Client can remain connected? Does it impact how long ESXi and vCenter can maintain a connection between themselves? Does it impact something else?
I'm talking about this:
Timeout periods can be set for two types of idle connections:
- The Read Timeout setting applies to connections that have completed the SSL handshake process with port 443 of ESX.
- The Handshake Timeout setting applies to connections that have not completed the SSL handshake process with port 443 of ESX.
- Both connection timeouts are set in milliseconds. Idle connections are disconnected after the timeout period. By default, fully established SSL connections have a timeout of infinity.
- Enter the <readTimeoutMs> value in milliseconds. For example, to set the Read Timeout to 20 seconds, enter the following command.
- <readTimeoutMs>20000</readTimeoutMs>
- Enter the <handshakeTimeoutMs> value in milliseconds. For example, to set the Handshake Timeout to 20 seconds, enter the following command.
- <handshakeTimeoutMs>20000</handshakeTimeoutMs>
