How to increase session timeout in MetaDefender Update Downloader via API?

To increase the session timeout on the Update Downloader console via API call you will need the following resources from the Update Downloader instance:

• An API key generated from the Update Downloader console.

• A valid URL from the Update Downloader instance we are trying to make this change.

Once we have the two items mentioned above we will need to use the following API call to make the change to the session timeout value:

curl --request PUT \ --url 'http://localhost:8028/admin/config/session' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'apikey: {apikey}' \ --data '{ "absoluteSessionTimeout": 0, "allowCrossIpSessions": true, "allowDuplicateSession": true, "sessionTimeout": 300000 }'

The value for the highlighted images from above is set to milliseconds.

Having the “0” value as can be seen in the image above will result in the timeout setting to be disabled.
