API

CookieAuthentication

The CookieAuthentication settings allow the user to customize the web session duration and behavior that are applied to all system users.

The CookieAuthentication settings are:

  • SlidingExpiration - Defines the sliding expiration attribute and can be set to True or False.

    When setting the SlidingExpiration to True, the cookie lifetime is automatically extended if the user actively uses the web app.

    When setting the SlidingExpiration to False, the cookie lifetime is not extended if the user actively uses the web app, instead, it will expire when the time interval set for the ExpireTimeSpan setting ends.

  • ExpireTimeSpan - Controls how much time the authentication cookie will remain valid from its creation point.

    The value format of the ExpireTimeSpan setting is DD.HH:MM: SS (Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds). Depending on the selection done here, the session will expire within the defined interval.
