Customise session timeout value

Laurie Thompson

1) What is your idea?  To be able to set the session timeout to be 20 minutes.                                             
2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve?  We are trying to reduce the security risk for a system built using Board.  Long (60 minutes) timeouts leave sessions vulnerable to reuse by people other than the user.
3) What workaround have you found or used?  None.  At the moment, we are using the session timeout that exists for Board - 60 minutes.  This is not the preferred option because security is of high importance for the system built using Board.
4) What is your role in the organisation?  I am the Programme Manager for my organisation's Data Programme.  We are developing data services for paying customers.
