Purpose:

These instructions will change the caWeb4 Timeout value from the default 20 minutes to a new value, which may be necessary if:

  • System security requires a lower value
  • User license management requires a lower value
  • User convenience requires a higher value

Prerequisite(s):

It is assumed this process will be applied by a network administrator. caWeb4 must be installed and setup to run correctly in a standard Microsoft Windows Server based environment. IIS 6.0 will also be required.

Instructions:

1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and right click on the caWeb4 virtual directory as shown below.

  • Changing the timeout value will end all active caWeb sessions, logging out any users who are currently logged in. Users will lose any unsaved changes to records.
