This is configured in the Web server (Tomcat / WebSphere) rather than in the Jazz UI. For example, if you're using Tomcat, it should be in install_dir/jazz/server/tomcat/conf/web.xml, look for this section:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>

This seems not working for me. I posted comments here:
https://jazz.net/forum/questions/86883/web-and-eclipse-timeout
Any advice?

My tests show that it seems the timeout setting in web.xml deployment descriptor will "overwrite" the timeout setting in install_dir/server/tomcat/conf/web.xml.
