Confluence Docs 3.0 : How do I adjust the session timeout This page last changed on Mar 02, 2009 by jlargman. To change the default session timeout (which is 60 minutes) you must edit the file `web.xml`. This file can be found in `<YOUR DEPLOYMENT>/confluence/WEB-INF/web.xml`. The element you want to edit in the `web.xml` file is:
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
The value within the session-timeout tag defines the amount of time the session will exist, in minutes. Note that after editing the `web.xml` file you will need to restart confluence for your change to take effect. On a related note, to configure Confluence's internal connection pool timeout period, please tweak the c3p0.timeout property in your `<Confluence-Home>/confluence.cfg.xml` file:
    <property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">30</property>
This value is an indication of the number of seconds a connection can remain pooled but unused before being discarded. Zero means idle connections never expire. More details can be found here.
