Hi, does anyone know how I can get the reauthentication dialog box disabled in TEM 8.2?

Thanks!

I thought it was under the “Admin Tool” look under the “Advanced Options” tab. I believe it was a property under there which designated wether or not to display the action authentication dialogs for 8.2.

I’m still looking for the official documentation… perhaps someone else will beat me in finding it.

Thanks Daniel… though I don’t see the parameter that disables it listed.

Yeah, we need to fix our docs… in the mean time, the parameter you are looking for is:

loginTimeoutSeconds

Set it to 0 if you want the 7.x behavior of prompting for a password each time. Remove the setting entirely if you only want to be prompted when logging in to the Console.

I should add: this setting is used in the TEM Admin Tool under the

Advanced Options

tab.
