API timeout does not function R81 API 1.7.1

Hello

R81 API 1.7.1

Could someone confirm that it should function?

the API timeout does not function . ( on GUI timeout is OK )

The session return the default 600 see example below.

If I do not logout the session is still open after several days .... I have to close it properly with API.

Is it a bug ? Has anyone also this issue ?

Thank you for the feedback
Jean-Michel

curl -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST https://IP_SERVER/web_api/login -d {"user":"MY_USER","password":"*****" }

I'm running R81 jumbo 51 on this box, and the API authentication timeout appears to work:

Hi @pepj,

Can you still see your old expired session with the following command?
# mgmt_cli show session --format json

If necessary, you can extend the timeout with a keepalive.
# mgmt_cli  --conn-timeout 1200 ...

Hi

Thank you for the answer

I have take 44 perhaps some issue there

In the GUI I can see the session during days and the default is still 600 .

Only when I close ( I kept the ID ), the session is closing.
