RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Amol K 2018-12-07 11:59:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
I tried to setup web UI session timeout as mentioned in the documenation[1]. But when I restart the system it throws the Subsystem unavailable exception.

[1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_certificate_system/9/html/administration_guide/configuring_session_timeouts

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
10.5.9-7.el7_6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In doc path is different but I tried with the following way:
  cp /var/lib/pki/topology-ecc-CA/conf/web.xml /var/lib/pki/topology-ecc-CA/ca/
2. Edit /var/lib/pki/topology-ecc-CA/ca/web.xml and set timeout parameter
3. Edit /etc/pki/topology-ecc-CA/Catalina/localhost/ca.xml and add the following text: 
<Context docBase="/var/lib/pki/topology-ecc-CA/webapps/ca" crossContext="true" allowLinking="true">
...
<Context>
4. chown -R pkiuser:pkiuser /var/lib/pki/topology-ecc-CA/webapps
5. Restart the server

Actual results:
cat /var/log/pki/topology-ecc-CA/localhost.2018-12-07.log

Expected results:
Server should start and web GUI session timeout should end in specified time.

Please see 9.4.1.3. Session Timeout of https://www.niap-ccevs.org/MMO/Product/st_10831-agd2.pdf

The regular (non-CC) guide will contain this same section once we are done integrating the docs.
Comment 3 Amol K 2020-03-27 08:42:07 UTC 
Steps to reproduce explain the timeout configuration. As far as I remember it is not working as expected. 

After setting the timeout it should expected to work for 5 mins. But it does not. Console get closed in 1 or 2 mins.

If this scenario is still not applicable please close this bug.
