Setting the Timeout for the Authentication Page

While the login authentication page is displayed, it uses system resources. By setting a limit on how long a login can take before the login page is closed, you free up those resources.

To set the timeout for the Authentication Page

1. Navigate to Users > Settings.
2. In the Show user authentication page for (minutes) field, enter the number of minutes that users have to log in with their username and password before the login page times out. If it times out, a message displays informing them what they must do before attempting to log in again. The default time is 1 minute.
3. Click Update.
