What is the best way to modify session timeout of Ranger Admin WebUI?

takefumi_ohide — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:29:09 GMT

I found it may be possible to set a session timeout of Ranger Admin WebUI by modifying <session-timeout> parameter in web.xml (usually placed in /usr/hdp/${version}/ranger-admin/ews/webapps/WEB-INF), however, this parameter cannot be set via Ambari WebUI. Is it the best way to modify web.xml on Ranger Admin host? If not, what is the best way for it?

Yes, modify web.xml directly on Ranger admin host.

@vperiasamy

Thank you for your answer!

I hope I could configure it on Ambari WebUI...

@Takefumi OHIDE

There is no option to modify the timeout setting from AMbari UI. This can only be done via cli.
