Issue

How do I end a particular webmail/POP/IMAP session or set a timeout for idle connections?

Solution

Use the following CLI command to end a particular webmail/POP/IMAP session-

CLI>user logout username

Where username is the user whose session is to be terminated

If you don't want to allow this user to login again, use the below command before terminating the session-

CLI>user set login username OFF

You can also end sessions which are idle for predetermined amount of time. You can set these timeouts as-

• CLI>webmail set timeout value

+ value--specifies the idle-period timeout for WebMail

sessions. WebMail service automatically logs out any user whose

connection remains idle for <value> number of minutes. The minimum is 3

minutes and the default is 360

• CLI>pop set timeout value

+ value--The POP service idle timeout in minutes. The POP

service closes any connection that remains idle for this period. The

POP3 standard (RFC 1939) requires a setting of at least ten minutes.

• CLI>imap set timeout value

+ value--the IMAP service idle timeout in minutes (see Imap

Get). Although you can specify any value, to comply with the IMAP4

standard, revision 1 (RFC 2060), you should set this timeout to at

least 30 minutes.
