Hi,

I am using Elasticsearch and Kibana version 6.5.4 and respective 6.5.4 searchguard plugins. The "searchguard.session.ttl" parameter seems not configurable to other values. Only with default value(1 hr) auto logout is happening. This was working fine in 6.2.4 ELK.

OS - RHEL 7.5

OpenJDK - 1.8

Can you please help me.

Thanks,

Chaitra

Hi there,

Could you please elaborate a bit on what is not working as expected?

Do you want the authentication cookie to expire after a certain time period, but that does not happen?

Do you have any authentication headers in the browser - for example after entering your credentials in the browser's basic auth dialog (the popup)?

As far as I can tell, the session.ttl handling has not changed between 6.2.* and 6.5.*, so I'd need to look into that...

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

Yes. I want the session cookie to expire after configured time which is configured in "searchguard.session.ttl"

In early version i.e, 6.2.4, For example if i configure searchguard.session.ttl: 180000 which is 3min, auto logout was happening and the browser used to ask for username and password after 3 min.

But now, in 6.5.4, if I configure searchguard.session.ttl: 180000 autologout is not happening. Only after 1hr (default) auto logout is happening.

I have attached my Headers after I enter my credentials in kibana.

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to update this post. Yes, this should have been fixed with the newest released version of the plugin.
