Suggestion for changing cockpit default session timeout
by Gal Zaidman 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Hi Cockpit developers, I saw that on cockpit-209 Session timeouts were added with the default to 15 minutes of inactivity (https://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-209.html ). I think that this change is problematic because: 1. The timeout is very short and it can cause unexpected behavior to users and cockpit packages. 2. The timeout can only be configured in the /etc/cockpit.conf file, so it is hard for packages to configure it to fit to their behavior. For example, we created a package for installing ovirt with cockpit UI, that installation can take a lot of time, it has different phases and logging out in the middle can cause problems. We prefer to avoid editing /etc/cockpit.conf because we don't want to run over user configuration (what to do when there is already cockpit.conf present?) I want to suggest: 1. Raising the timeout to 2 hours of inactivity, this seems reasonable. 2. Provide a more flexible way of configuring the timeout, with an option to the manifest.json package file and/or with a cockpit API call. Thanks
