Is there a way to disable horizon's session timeout completely? I'm running a dev/test openstack IceHouse on Ubuntu trusty 14.04 Thanks,

I have tested this in Juno as follows:

Add the below line to /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py

SESSION_TIMEOUT = <timeout_in_seconds>

service apache2 restart

Add the below line to /etc/keystone/keystone.conf

expiration=<timeout_in_seconds>

service keystone restart

There is no way to disable the timeout, which defaults to 30 minutes. However, you can increase the timeout to a much longer interval by adding

SESSION_TIMEOUT = desired number of seconds

to your local_settings.py and restarting apache.

Keystone will still have a default token expiration duration that may be encountered.

That explains it then! Because I did set session_timeout to a large number yet the session was expiring. Must be the token expiry you mentioned. Thanks.

I have a similar issue. What is the default value for tokens? I see commented out "#expiration=3600" in my keystone.conf (so by default it's 1h) and I've already set SESSION_TIMEOUT in local_settings.py to same value, without success. It still expires in less than 10-15 mins.

Have similar problem. Dashboard enforce to re-login very 10 mins around. I guess it's related with session_storage except session_timeout.

For newer versions of Openstack: The command to restart keystone is:

service openstack-keystone restart

The command to restart apache is:

service httpd restart
