Hello

The default console timeout should be 1800 seconds, 30 minutes.

You can get the current configuration and set the configuration to make changes via RACADM.

racadm get idrac.virtualconsole

Change get to set to make changes.

The iDRAC CLI guide is on the iDRAC and system support page.

That's not what I'm talking about. I mean the website login to the iDRAC. For example when you login to: https://  ip address> after a short period you have to log back in again to view the dashboard or work in it. It's way to short. How do we change that?

Thank you

HI,

This can be changed in GUI settings as well.

idrac login->idrac settings -> services->web server->settings

Here the attribute Timeout is the parameter to be altered.

Enable the options to allow the edit part.

I think webserver timeout is the parameter that which stands for web interface timeout issue.

pls check this and let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

Here is the CLI command for the same.

racadm>>racadm set iDRAC.WebServer.Timeout 2000
[Key=iDRAC.Embedded.1#WebServer.1]
Object value modified successfully

Later checking for the set value 
racadm>>racadm get idrac.webserver
[Key=idrac.Embedded.1#WebServer.1]
CustomCipherString=
Enable=Enabled
HttpPort=80
HttpsPort=443
HttpsRedirection=Enabled
#MaxNumberOfSessions=8
SSLEncryptionBitLength=128-Bit or higher
Timeout=2000
TitleBarOption=Auto
TitleBarOptionCustom=
TLSProtocol=TLS 1.1 and Higher

This Timeout value can be set to higher value for web interface to stay logged in without timeout frequently.

pls let me know, if this helps.

Thanks

Wow. I'm not sure how I missed this option. Still, mine is set at 1800 (30mins) but it's not acting this way. It seems to timeout faster. I will time it and report back.

These settings don't exist in IDRAC7. Unless they are somewhere else. Please advise.

Hi, 

Here is the settings in idrac7

now settings Timeout value for 2000 

racadm>>racadm set iDRAC.WebServer.Timeout 3000

racadm set iDRAC.WebServer.Timeout 3000
[Key=iDRAC.Embedded.1#WebServer.1]
Object value modified successfully

checking the value for Timeout which is set to above value

racadm>>racadm get iDRAC.WebServer

racadm get iDRAC.WebServer
[Key=iDRAC.Embedded.1#WebServer.1]
CustomCipherString=
Enable=Enabled
HttpPort=80
HttpsPort=443
HttpsRedirection=Enabled
#MaxNumberOfSessions=8
SSLEncryptionBitLength=128-Bit or higher
Timeout=3000
TitleBarOption=Auto
TitleBarOptionCustom=
TLSProtocol=TLS 1.0 and Higher

Here is the settings for web server time out in idrac 7 through CLI.

pls check this and let me know if this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

Here is the settings in GUI as well for idrac7

idraclogin->idracsettings->Network->services->webserver

Attribute Timeout is the parameter value to be changed.

Enable option should be checked to allow these changes.

click on the save at the end should save your time out value.

hope this helps, pls let me know.

Thanks

@DELL-Sirisha U ok, this looks like it works. Thanks for all your help! To recap for those that may stumble upon this post:

In the GUI:

iDRAC7: idraclogin->idracsettings->Network->services->webserver

iDRAC9: idraclogin->idracsettings -> services->web server->settings

CLI:

iDRAC7:

racadm set iDRAC.WebServer.Timeout 3000
[Key=iDRAC.Embedded.1#WebServer.1]
Object value modified successfully

iDRAC9:

racadm>>racadm set iDRAC.WebServer.Timeout 2000
[Key=iDRAC.Embedded.1#WebServer.1]
Object value modified successfully

@DELL-Sirisha U if you want to include these solutions in a single post, I can mark it as the solution. Thanks!
