Session logout

[khyros]

Hi, is there any way to control the time it takes to be logged out of the admin area?
i.e. If I log in now in the admin area and close the window, i'll have to log in if i go to the admin site after a few hours.

Can i set it up so that I'm always logged in?
Thanks.

I think you can tune this (sessions timeout) at the PHP level. See the php.ini or where to override it.
But you must know what you are doing if you want to stay always logged in. IMHO it is a bad idea unless you have a good reason.

I guess there must a cookie setting somewhere at the CMS level...
We don't care much about security as far as being logged in is concerned.. since access to our site is anyways forbidden from outside the institution

thanks.
