MaxLifetime (ML)
Learn how to use the MaxLifetime config.txt directive to specify the maximum number of minutes an EZproxy session can be idle before it is automatically logged out.
Although this directive can be repeatedand can be used to set different idle times for different databases, the results can be somewhat unexpected. The recommended placement of this directive is a single instance before the first database stanza in config.txt.
MaxLifetime (also written as ML) specifies the maximum number of minutes that a session can be idle before it is automatically logged out. The default value of 120 minutes allows a session to be idle for 120 minutes. This default meets the need of most configurations.
