Purpose

The default user session timeout in Bamboo is 30 minutes. This means every user will be logged out after 30 minutes of inactivity and will be prompted to log in again.

The purpose of this article is to show how to change the user session timeout.

Solution

• Stop Bamboo server.
• Go to the $BAMBOO_INSTALL/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF directory.

• Open up the web.xml file and locate the following piece of code:

  <session-config>
      <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
  </session-config>

  The session-timeout value is in minutes.

• Adjust the session timeout according to your needs and save the file.
• Start Bamboo server.
