Resolution

  • Add the following switches to the pnServer.config.xml file located in C:\ProgramData\protected-networks.com\8MAN\cfg on the ARM Server. They can be added just before the </config>. Save the file and restart the ARM-Service on the ARM Server.
<fatclients.applications.app8Man.sessionExpirationMinutes type="System.Int32">0</fatclients.applications.app8Man.sessionExpirationMinutes>
<fatclients.applications.appConfig.sessionExpirationMinutes type="System.Int32">0</fatclients.applications.appConfig.sessionExpirationMinutes>
  • The default value is 15 minutes. The value '0' disables the session expiration.
  • Any other value will set the session expiration accordingly in minutes.
