# PingAuthorize administrative console

The PingAuthorize administrative console is a web-based application that provides a graphical configuration and administration interface. It is available by default from the `/console` path.

## Setting the console session timeout

The session timeout for the console is 24 hours by default. When this duration is exceeded, all inactive users are logged off automatically.

To set a different timeout value, configure the `server.sessionTimeout` application parameter, which specifies the timeout duration in seconds. You can set the value as an init parameter either in the console or on the command line.

* Console

  In the PingAuthorize administrative console, go to **Web Application Extensions → Console**. Specify the timeout value in the **Init Parameter** field.

* Command line

  Use the `dsconfig` tool. The following example uses a value of 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

  ```
  dsconfig set-web-application-extension-prop --no-prompt \
  --extension-name Console \
  --add init-parameter:server.sessionTimeout=1800
  ```

For the changes to take effect, restart the HTTP(S) Connection Handler, or the server itself.
