Global session timeout without sliding window
Product: PowerShell Universal Version: 4.4.1 InstallType: MSI Webserver: Kestrel
Hi,
Is there any way to set a global session timeout without the sliding/rolling window as it currently works as per the docs?
We have a requirement to enforce a session timeout, regardless of user activity.

I feel like this is an item you should ask for a waiver for. Setting a timeout regardless of user activity could be very problematic from the standpoint of someone creating a new script and the app logging them out before they’ve had a chance to save anything, potentially causing work to be lost. Hence, why most timeouts revolve around idle session time, not total session time.

Fair point. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Audit accepted what we had configured for SessionTimeout and IdleTimeout
