Hello, how are you?
How do you enable the session time for password safe? The session time is extremely short.

Hi Carlos,

Are you referring to the web console session time or the RDP/SSH session time? 

 

For webconsole session time you can configure this in the Password Safe Configuration → System → Site Option under Session you would have a Session timeout.

For RDP/SSH session these are configured on the access policies or the default managed account settings.  For each managed account there is a default release duration and a maximum release duration.

If the Managed Account is onboarded through a Smart Rule, the default and maximum release duration will need to be changed within the Smart Rule.  If it was not part of an onboarding rule it can be changed by editing the account.
