The configuration would change based on the underlying authentication mechanism (Kerberos,
LDAP etc) that is followed to join the Linux CMS to AD. Appropriate authentication modules such
as pam_krb5.so or pam_ldap.so should be specified in the mxpamauthrealm file.
The configuration files of other services such as login can be referenced to modify
mxpamauthrealm. HP recommends you restart the CMS incase of any changes made to this file.

signs you out after 20 minutes.
As long as you are actively working in HP SIM, your session stays active. If the session is inactive
for more than 20 minutes, HP SIM ends the session and signs you out after 20 minutes of inactivity.
