User Interface - change user idle logout time

[btniko]

Hi -

I want to change the default user idle logout time in the UI. Found this article: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=201513...

But I dont understand where to login to change this?

I have putty in to UI VM and Analytics VM, but no folders like the one mentioned KB is there.

It says login to the vApp ?  Do I miss something here ? :smileyconfused:

Kind r

Hi Bjørn,

You can use Putty or WinSCP to login to the UI VM from the vApp.

I just verified in my environment (using WinSCP since it is easier to traverse folders and edit files) and I have existing folder: /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/tomcat/webapps/vcops-vsphere/WEB-INF.

What version of vCOps you are using?

My advice is:

1) Use WinSCP

2) Let us know from what point the path is missing: example: after tomcat/ or after /vcops-vsphere??

3) Post a screenshot with the folder structure from WinSCP so we can think of other suggestions.

Hope this helps,

Alex D.

Hi again.

It was so simple that WinSCP solved it. I found the correct folders. :smileylaugh:
Do you know if a reboot of UI VM is needed for the new settings to take effect?

You can run this command on the UI VM instead of rebooting -

service vcopsweb restart

The easiest way is to login as "admin" to UI VM (Putty, or WinSCP + Open Session in Putty from there) and then issue the following command:

vcops-admin restart

Yeah, what Dave suggests will also work.

Great, thank you very much!
