j5v7c (j5v7c) asked a question.

Can I change the automatic sign out time in Okta?
Currently Okta logs me out after a certain period of inactivity. Can I change how long that is? If so, what are the minimum and maximum times and where to I make those changes? if not, where can I add this as a feature requrest?

    Bill,

    Yes this setting is under Security / General in the admin console under Organization. Session lifetime must be between 1 minute and 12 hours.

    Hi Bill,

     

    We are also introducing variable Session Timeouts for applications. This new feature will allow you to set custom session times for apps so you can syncronize and/or modify timeouts for security and ease of use purposes.

     

    If you have more questions join our "Ask me Anything" session on 10/15 at 10 AM PT. I will be hosting an open Q&A on Okta Mobility Management, Adaptive MFA, and other topics. You can learn more here: bit.ly/1joCz1Q

    Has variable Session Timeouts been enabled? I have two apps, BambooHR and Docusign, that are logging users out after 30 minutes even as they are actively typing into the fields.

    BambooHR is using SAML and Docusign on SWA.

    Has this setting location been changed?  I do not see this setting at all under Security/General in our admin console.  All I see is this:
