PowerProtect Data Manager: How to change the interface timeout

How to increase the PowerProtect Interface timeout in 19.22.0.24 and older.

1. Open an SSH session to PowerProtect and authenticate with the admin account.
2. Make a copy of the app-config.json file:

   cp -p /usr/local/brs/lib/ecdm-ui/main/app-config.json /usr/local/brs/lib/ecdm-ui/main/app-config.json.orig

3. Update the idle-timeout value in the app-config.json file with a value between 1 and 3600 seconds.
   • Text editor:

     vi /usr/local/brs/lib/ecdm-ui/main/app-config.json

   • The sed utility:

     sed -i 's/"idle-timeout": 1800/"idle-timeout": 3600/' /usr/local/brs/lib/ecdm-ui/main/app-config.json

4. Verify that the app-config.json file was properly updated:

   grep 'idle-timeout' /usr/local/brs/lib/ecdm-ui/main/app-config.json

Note: The default 1800 seconds (30 minutes) is used if the value is not between 1 and 3600 seconds.

How to increase the PowerProtect Interface timeout in 20.1.0.0-17 and newer.

In the PowerProtect Interface, navigate to "Administration > Access Control > Session Settings."

The default app-config.json file:

admin@ppdm:/> cat /usr/local/brs/lib/ecdm-ui/main/app-config.json
{
    "idle-timeout": 1800
}
admin@ppdm:/>

The app-config.json file after the update:

admin@ppdm:/> cat /usr/local/brs/lib/ecdm-ui/main/app-config.json
{
    "idle-timeout": 3600
}
admin@ppdm:/>
