Remove Auto Log Off for a specific user

Former Member — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 05:50:54 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I'm not sure if I am on the right place. But I want to ask if it is possible to turn off the auto log off for a specific user.

I've been researching and I found out that I need to change the parameter of profile rdisp/gui_auto_logout. Understand that if I do this in our server, all users will be affected. Our requirement is only for 1 user ID.

Thank you,

Hi Hershey,

There's only one answer to your question: it's not possible.

Good luck!

Have a look at transaction SECPOL - Defining Security Policies - Identity Management - SAP Library

Hi Hershey,

Not possible, any change to profile parameter affects all the user id !!!

Good Luck !!!

Logically it is impossible to implement this but if it must be done for a certain group of people then here is a workaround for this.

1. Change the parameter rdisp/gui_auto_logout for a partcular application server and set it to 0 so that auto logout gets deactivated for that application server only.

2. Create a logon group and include this server only in that logon group and ask the users to use this group only for the logon or you can provide the information directly to them and say them to use the application server for the logon.

Auto logout is disabled for them now.

As I already mentioned it is not the exact soultion but just a wrokaround.

Let me know if more information is needed.

I hope it works for you.

Hi Anand, thank you so much for the info. How can I create a particular application server?

You dont need to create any application server here. Application server must be there already.

If you are having only CI there then solution/workaround mentioned by me is not applicable.

Kind Regards

I checked in SM51 and we only have 1 application server. Does this mean there's no way for us to test the work around that you mentioned?

THank you so much

As effect of this parameter is instance wide I think we cant implement it in a only 1 application server scenario.

You cannot use security policies to control dispatcher processes for session management.

They only control the assignment of password management rules to users (over and above the user type).
