Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The default CLI idle-timeout is set in a non-user-modifiable configuration file, and must be set each time the user logs in.

Impact

User cannot select a default idle-timeout other than the predefined default.

Conditions

The user desires to set an persistent idle-timeout to a value other than the pre-set default, or to disable it.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

A configuration setting has been added to the configuration database as "system settings config idle-timeout" so that the administrator can configure a default idle-timeout for the CLI. The setting applies to the particular system instance (controller, partition, or appliance).

Behavior Change

Administrator can configure the default CLI timeout value, so that it applies to all user sessions.
