How To Change Or Stop vCAC 6 Session Timeout

It’s possible to change or stop the default vCAC 6 session timeout of 30 minutes. To change (or stop) vCAC 6 session timeout:

1. Edit the web.xml file found here:
   /usr/lib/vcac/server/webapps/shell-ui-app/WEB-INF/
2. Change the value of session-timeout to whatever you want to change the session timeout to
3. Restart vCAC

To completely stop vCAC 6 sessions from timing out, set the value of session-timeout to -1.

❗ Note: As with any change to vCAC, it’s worth snapshotting the vCAC VM first. Additionally, changing the session timeout of vCAC 6 is not currently supported by VMware.
