Issue/Introduction

HCX API and UI session timeout duration for Hybridity page (https://<HCX-IP/FQDN>:443) and VAMI page (https://<HCX-IP/FQDN>:9443). 

Environment

HCX

Resolution

Default user session idle timeout for HCX Hybridity (https://<HCX-IP/FQDN>:443) is 15 minutes. This applies to both API access and the UI.

• In the Hybridity UI, the browser sends background requests at regular intervals to check tasks(every 10 sec) and alerts(every 30 sec). Each request resets the 15-minute timeout, so as long as the UI remains open, the session stays active and the user is not logged out.
• If the Hybridity UI is closed, no background requests are sent. In this case, the session expires 15 minutes after the UI is closed, and the user must log in again to access the interface.

Default user session idle timeout for HCX VAMI (https://<HCX-IP/FQDN>:9443) is 60 minutes for API and 30 minutes for UI.
