The setting named SESSION_NAME_EXPIRE_HOURS controls the period of time for the expiry of a named user license. By definition, there is not a strict need from a licensing perspective for end users who occupy a named license to ever have their session terminated automatically. However, every session requires resources on the server and these resources are finite. Apart from the user who forgets to sign off after an extended period, there is also the occasional computer or browser crash that will leave sessions hanging. After a period of time these events take a toll and performance can be reduced to other users. ExtraView’s recommendation is that there is a 24 hour setting on named licenses. Provided the application server is configured correctly, this should clean up unused sessions without an undue burden on the server.
