I'm on EE 2.7 and clients are complaining of short logout times.
I’m forced to re-log into EE within 20-30 minutes of non-usage even though you’ve set the timeout to 8.3 hours.
My current settings are
$config['admin_session_type'] = "s";
$config['cp_session_ttl'] = 30000; // Keep admins logged in for one business day
Any thoughts on other settings to check/change?
Change the Control Panel Session Type to "Cookies only".
Control Panel Location: Admin ‣ Security and Privacy ‣ Security and Sessions
Only cookies are used to track the admin user. When this setting is used a “remember me” checkbox will appear next to the Control Panel login page, enabling users to stay permanently logged in.
You can use addon Stay Up Forever for this purpose.
