Ideal session in vCenter 5.5 for long period

Hello Experts,

I would require your assistance in tuning up my vCenter server.

I can see the users are disconnecting vCenter server by closing vSphere client from remote machine.

Users are using the vSphere Thick Client (C# client) and closing it by clicking on red cross button.

This keep the session in vCenter server as ideal and vCenter server failed to close these session.

I am looking for the setting in vCenter server which will close all Ideal session from vCenter Session Manager.

Please can someone redirect me to correct setting in vCenter server.

Note : Scripts are not allowed in our environment.

There is no setting in vCenter that I know of to accomplish this. You can configure the clients. Please see this:

Well, this is not normal behaviour.

When the vSphere C# client is closed the connection to the vCenter server is normally instantly terminated.

Only the Sessions from users using the Web client, which just close their browser go into idle mode. This timeout can be set though.

Tim is correct!

I missed the part in the original post that the users are closing the client. The session should terminate when the client is closed.
