Updated:

Configuring the session expiration time in the Bold Reports Server is essential for maintaining the security and efficiency of your reporting environment. The session expiration time determines how long a user’s session remains active without any interaction. To customize this setting, follow the steps outlined below.

Step 1: Access Manage Sites

Navigate to the Manage sites page within the Bold Reports application. You can find this by clicking on the profile icon.

Note: Ensure that you are logged in with an admin user account to perform these changes.

Step 2: Navigate to Settings

Once in the Manage sites section, proceed to select the Settings option available in the UMS server.

Step 3: Edit Configuration

In the Settings menu, click on the Configuration option. Here, you will be able to select the Config.json file from a dropdown list.

Step 4: Modify SessionIdleMinutes

In the Config.json file, locate the SessionIdleMinutes property. Change the value of this property to the number of minutes you wish the session to remain active before expiring. After making the necessary changes to the SessionIdleMinutes value, save the Config.json file to apply the new session expiration time.

{
  "SessionIdleMinutes": "desired number of minutes"
}

Note: Replace desired number of minutes with the actual number of minutes you want for the session expiration time.

By following these steps, you can effectively customize the session expiration time to enhance the security and usability of your Bold Reports Server.
