Springboot app session timeout

Question

I have created a SpringBoot MVC/Security app 1.2.2.RELEASE and my application.properties contains server settings like

#Tomcat port and contextPath details
s         


        

Answer 1

I don't know for some reason only setting

server.session.timeout=120 

didn't work for me however, when I set both session timeout and cookie max age like below:

server.session.cookie.max-age=120
server.session.timeout=120 

it works perfectly
