Security Timeout

For security reasons, the system automatically logs you out of the system if you do not perform any tasks for a specified period of time. This timeout period is determined by two factors:

•	The lifetime of the PHP Session Cookie (PHPSESSID). The default lifetime is until the browser is closed.

•	The PHP session timeout period. The default value is 1440 seconds (24 minutes).

Therefore, if you do not perform any tasks for a certain time period, the system may log you out either because the browser session timed out or because PHP session timed out.

When you are ready to resume working with the system, click any button on the screen. The system automatically loads the Login page for you. You can also close the Web browser windows and re-load the Login page manually in a new browser window.
