Bug ID 438958: maximum session timeout of 0 is not infinite

Last Modified: Jan 07, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP APM(all modules)

Fixed In:
11.6.0

Opened: Nov 25, 2013

Severity: 3-Major

Related Article: K15146

Symptoms

If an administrator sets the Maximum Session Timeout to 0 (zero), APM interprets it as exactly 7 days instead of interpreting it as infinite as expected.

Impact

Affects all versions after 11.0.0.

Conditions

Set the Maximum Session Timeout to 0.

Workaround

Put a really large value for the session timeout. For example, 999999999 is an allowed value, which will be about 31 years and 8 months, effectively "infinite".

Fix Information

None
