Constant Prompting for Signing Key

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

I have recently upgraded from TEM 8.1 to 8.2. I know there is supposed to be a way to configure the system to not prompt for my signing key every time I modify a fixlet or action.

Can someone please tell me how to do this?

I run my server in a lab where I’m constantly changing things and it is very taxing on my fingers to have to type my key every two seconds.

Thanks!

This is configured in the BES Administration Tool, which is accessed from the Windows Start menu.

The option is “loginTimeoutSeconds”.

My recollection is that when you upgrade to 8.2, you will see the entry being set to 0. If you delete it, it will be infinity and no re-authentication required.

loginTimeoutSeconds

Defaults to zero on upgrade from a pre-8.2 deployment, defaults to infinity on a clean install of 8.2 or later. The amount of idle time in seconds before the console requires reauthentication to take certain actions. The timer is reset every time the user reauthenticates or does an action that would have required authentication within the idle time threshold.
