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.

Since RHEL 6.3, luci authenticated sessions will automatically timeout after 15 minutes of inactivity. This period is customizable in /etc/sysconfig/luci by modifying the "who.auth_tkt_timeout" parameter. It is important to note that the only valid values are 0 (no timeout) and values above 60 seconds (i.e. greater than one minute).

Description Jan Pokorný [poki] 2011-08-26 17:30:08 UTC 
Actually, this is already in since luci 0.23/RHEL 6.1 that initially
(talking about a "new-gen" luci 0.20+) enabled user to configure some
of the aspects of luci via /etc/sysconfig/luci, item from the summary
being amongst them.  It originated in upstream change related to
RFE/bug #661386.

But there are some catches:

1. such user configuration has not been documented yet: bug 731856

2. the first version we can expect to make discussed configuration item
   effective is RHEL 6.3 (not much desirably, things got stuck a bit
   in this regard): bug 639075

Apparently, this was filled mainly for smooth integration with the above bugs.

Since RHEL 6.3, luci authenticated session will

Comment 3 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2011-10-11 13:18:37 UTC 
Another thing related to session timeout:

Should we provide a graphic indication of time remaining?
I've actually seen this on some sites.
