Issue

  • After updating past de-68 for Liferay DXP 7.0 or past dxp-5 for Liferay DXP 7.1 users are now timing out after 15 minutes.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0 using the Tomcat application server
  • Liferay DXP 7.1 using the Tomcat application server

Resolution

  • LPE-16597 modifies the default session timeout value to 15 minutes instead of the prior 30 minutes.
  • The web.xml file, located at /tomcat-[home]/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF, can be modified at you and your team's discretion to have the expected session timeout value.
