Do not increase the web console timeout to a value which is not compliant with your policies as this might pose a potential security risk.

Details

Access IWSVA as root via SSH.
Use vim or vi to edit the "/var/iwss/tomcat/conf/web.xml" file:

# vim /var/iwss/tomcat/conf/web.xml
To adjust the duration of the web console session, change the value of the "session-timeout" parameter (in minutes).

For example, to set the web console timeout to 1 hour, replace the value to 60:

<session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
</session-config>
Restart the Tomcat service:

# /var/iwss/S99IScanHttpd restart
