The idle session timeout can be configured, as follow:

1) Open and edit web.xml file (located in <VIPEG>\server\work\jetty-0_0_0_0-8232-vipconsole_war-_vipegconsole-any-\webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml)

2) In web.xml, look for <session-config> block. For instance:

       <session-config>
           <session-timeout>50</session-timeout>
           <cookie-config>
               <comment>{}SAME_SITE_STRICT{}</comment>
           </cookie-config>
       </session-config>

3) Amend the value in <session-timeout>50</session-timeout>. For instance, amend the default value 50 minutes to 30 minutes like so <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>.
