Setting the session time-out for the Web Publishing Engine
Instant Web Publishing solutions automatically use sessions and you cannot disable them. The value for
Session Timeout on the Publishing Engine Configuration: General Settings page sets the session time-out for Instant
Web Publishing, which is 15 minutes by default. If necessary, you can change the Session Timeout value.
Sessions are optional in Custom Web Publishing with XSLT and you create them by using the
fmxslt:create_session() extension function. The Session Timeout value sets the default session time-out for
Custom Web Publishing with XSLT, and you can override the default by using the fmxslt:invalidate_session()
and fmxslt:set_session_timeout() extension functions. See the FileMaker Server Advanced Custom Web
Publishing Guide.
The Session Timeout value does not apply to Custom Web Publishing with XML.
To change the session time-out for the Web Publishing Engine:
1. For Session Timeout on the Publishing Engine Configuration: General Settings page, enter the number of
minutes.
You can specify up to 60 minutes.
2. If you are finished making configuration changes in the Administration Console, click Commit to save the
settings.
3. If you want the new committed settings to take effect immediately, click Restart Publishing Engine.
