Why are users being signed out?


Chris Rafaluk (135) | asked Feb 28 '17, 11:48 a.m.

Every 2 hours our users are being asked to sign back in.

The sign in message states "The Jazz Team Server at xxx.xxx.local in Jazz requires a user ID and password.

We've tried increasing the Websphere timeout and changing the Jazz SSO Application Session Timeout. Neither has helped.

We're using  container authentication with an LDAP server.

Is anyone aware what may be causing these sign outs?

what did you change in WAS timeout?
LTPA token timeout is default to 2 hours and this seems to be what you are experiencing. See the discussion here:

My first guess was that it was the LTPA token. However, changing the setting in the WAS admin console hasn't had any effect (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/7685ca43-63d4-4946-89fd-58d379a896d1/entry/setting_the_jazz_session_timeout_time_on_websphere_application_server?lang=en)

 Have you found anything in the logs?

Did some digging in the SystemOutl.log file and LTPA timeouts are causing the issue.
Within the websphere admin console the timeout is set to 8.5hours but this appears to be overridden elsewhere leading to 2 hour timeouts.

you may want to restart your server to make it effective if you haven't done so.
