User session - configure timeout

[Jakob Breivik Grimstveit]

I've searched the docs and the web for any solution, but have not been able to find the answer, so I turn to you :-).

How do I configure the session timeout for user logins in Jenkins? I found a blog post describing how to configure $JENKINS_HOME/war/WEB-INF/web.xml (and that seemed to work), but this web.xml-file I assume will be overwritten for every new Jenkins upgrade, so perhaps a different solution exists?

We use the LDAP (AD) auth connector plugin, btw.

Thank you in advance for any tips about this!

I think this is the answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14433070/default-session-timeout-for-apache-tomcat-applications

Open tomcat_home/conf/web.xml and find this

  <!-- ==================== Default Session Configuration ================= -->
  <!-- You can set the default session timeout (in minutes) for all newly   -->
  <!-- created sessions by modifying the value below.                       -->

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
