Cockpit Session timeout

[yasirvohra]

Cockpit version: cockpit-bridge/focal, now 215-1 amd64
OS: UBUNTU 20.04

Issue: we have installed cockpit and its great for system administration. I closed browser and left session open, just wondering it keeps the process running on background.
I need help how to set cockpit session timeout automatically if I close browser directly or forget to logout session?

If you close the browser tab, the session should time out automatically after some 20 seconds. Just check who while you have an open cockpit session, looks something like this:

 martin   web console  2021-11-16 07:09 (::ffff:127.0.0.1)

Then close the browser tab, and run watch who, and the "web console" session will time out.
