cfgSessionManagement
This group contains parameters to configure the number of sessions that can connect to iDRAC. One instance of the group is
allowed. Displays current settings for and configures the idle timeout properties for web server, Telnet, SSH and RACADM sessions.
Changes to idle time out settings take effect at the next login. To disable the idle time out property for a connection, set this
property to 0.
To apply this setting to iDRAC, use the —m option
