How can I change authentication session timeout?

To change the session timeouts:

If it does not work as expected check the following values in your php settings.

  1. session.cookie_lifetime (Default: 0)
    - session.cookie_lifetime specifies the lifetime of the cookie in seconds which is sent to the browser.
    - a value of 0 means "until the browser is closed"
  2. session.gc_maxlifetime (Default: 1440)
    - session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up.
    - garbage collection occurs during session start.
