setting session timeout in Grails Spring Security Core Plugin

Question

Answer 1

The plugin doesn't have settings for session duration - it just uses whatever is configured for the whole app. You can do this by editing web.xml (run grails install-templates if you haven't yet) and edit src/templates/war/web.xml. Add

<session-config>
   <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>

before the welcome-file-list element and set the session-timeout value to whatever number of minutes you want it to be.
