Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 57

You have used the "set inactivity-timeout 120" command to prevent the session to be disconnected after 10 minutes of inactivity. However, the Web session is being disconnected after 10 minutes. Why?

Answer options

• A. The idle timeout for the web session is specified with the “set web session-timeout" command.
• B. The number specified is the amount of the idle timeout in seconds rather than in minutes. So you have to use the command "set inactivity-timeout 600" instead.
• C. Probably, you have forgotten to make sure that nobody is accessing the management server via the SmartConsole which locks the management database.
• D. The number of minutes is correct. Probably, you have forgotten to save this setting with the "save config" command.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the 'set inactivity-timeout' command only controls the timeout for certain types of sessions and does not include web sessions. Option B is incorrect because the command is already set in minutes. Option C is irrelevant to the session timeout issue, and option D is incorrect as the saving of configuration does not affect the web session timeout settings.
