To comply with security requirements, an administrator with a vCenter Server Appliance needs to force logoff of the vSphere web client after 10 minutes of inactivity.
What should the administrator do to meet the requirement?
A. Edit: /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=10
B. Edit: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=600
C. Edit: /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties modify session.timeout=600
D. Edit: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=10
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
By default, vSphere Web Client sessions terminate after 120 minutes of idle time, requiring the user to log in again to resume using the client. You can change the timeout value by modifying the session.timeout value in the webclient.properties file.
The path to the webclient.properties file is /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties.
The session.timeout value specifies the amount of idle time in minutes before the session times out and the user is logged off. Therefore a session.timeout=10 value will configure a 10 minute timeout.
Incorrect Answers:
B: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties is not the correct path to the webclient.properties file. The session.timeout value is also incorrect. The session.timeout value specifies the amount of idle time in minutes, not seconds. A session.timeout value of 600 will configure the session timeout to be
600 minutes or 10 hours. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: The session.timeout value specifies the amount of idle time in minutes, not seconds. A session.timeout value of 600 will configure the session timeout to be 600 minutes or 10 hours. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties is not the correct path to the webclient.properties file. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
