Mantra timeout question.

Question

Is there a way to increase the amount of ManTra inactive time before I need to re-login? I open Mantra and do some work in it. Then I minimize the screen, work on other items and then come back 30-45 minutes later to do more work in ManTra and I need to re-login. Can this be set to longer interval?

Hi Tim, 
 
The 20 minute session timeout is generic across all ManTra users - this isn't something that was requested specifically by Philips. 
 
Customers regularly ask about session timeout during audits / RFIs, but it’s more of a question that a timeout is in place than calling out a specific duration. We therefore take the recommendation from OWASP who suggest a 15-30 minute timeout for low-risk applications.

Hi Tim, 
 
The session expiry in ManTra is set to 20 minutes of inactivity. This is a security requirement and not something we are able to extend unfortunately.
