Muse Proxy FAQ
Muse Proxy
The default session timeout of a Muse Proxy Application is of 30 minutes.
When the authentication session of the Muse Proxy Application is close to end, a Session Timeout warning pop-up and/or a Session Timeout warning window will appear. Each of them displays a message which notifies the user regarding the remaining time from the current authentication session. The time when the warning pop-up and / or a Session Timeout warning window will appear is configurable using the
AUTHENTICATION_TIMEOUT_ALERT_WINDOW_DURATION
field for the Application Web Module from the ${WEB_CONTEXT_HOME}/WEB-INF/web.xml
configuration file. By default, this is set to 60 seconds before the Muse Proxy application session will end.
The Muse Proxy Application interface is on top of other core layers, hence increasing the interface timeout value involves increasing the underlying timeouts to avoid the expiration of system sessions before the interface. The underlying timeout values must be bigger than the interface value, or at most equal.
For example, to increase the application inactivity timeout to 60 minutes, the following must be done:
Increase timeout values at the system level
${MUSE_HOME}/proxy/modules/handlers/RequestHandlerWeb.xml
Edit this file on disk and change the value ofCLIENT_SESSION_TIMEOUT
to3900000
. The default value is:
(35 minutes) The new value:
(65 minutes)3900000 ${MUSE_HOME}/proxy/webcontexts/NavigationManager/profiles/NavigationSession.xml
Edit this file on disk and change the value ofNAVIGATION_SESSION_TIMEOUT

Edit this file on disk and change the value ofAUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_TIMEOUT
to7200000
. The default value is:3600000
(120 minutes) The value of7200000 AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_TIMEOUT
must be significantly higher than theNAVIGATION_SESSION_TIMEOUT
.
Increase the timeout value at the application level
${MUSE_HOME}/proxy/webcontexts/Applications/APPLICATION_ID/WEB-INF/web.xml
This file can be edited in the Muse Proxy Administrator Console, Applications -> Manage Applications
, hover the desire proxy application and click the WEB.xml
button. Locate the AUTHENTICATION_TIMEOUT
field and change its value from the default 1800000
