Sec_Sess_Timeout
database parameter
Description
When you access an SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise database in
PowerBuilder through Open Client, Sec_Sess_Timeout is one of several
parameters that support login authentication for network-based security
services. (For other login authentication parameters, see the See Also
section.)
Some security mechanisms allow applications to set session timeout
values for connections using network-based login authentication. For
these connections, Sec_Sess_Timeout specifies the number of seconds
remaining before a session expires. The session timeout period begins
when the connection is opened.
By default, Sec_Sess_Timeout specifies that there is no session
timeout limit; the session does not expire. You must specify a value for
Sec_Sess_Timeout before connecting to the database in
PowerBuilder.
Using third-party security mechanisms
For information about the third-party security mechanisms and
operating system platforms that has been tested with Open Client
security services, see the Open Client documentation.

CyberSafe Kerberos
If your security mechanism is CyberSafe Kerberos, Sec_Sess_Timeout
cannot override the installation default value set for session
timeout.
Set Release parameter
For this parameter to take effect, you must also set the Release
parameter to 11 or higher to specify that your application should use
the appropriate version of SAP Sybase Open Client Client-Library
(CT-Lib) behavior. See the description of the Release parameter for more information.
Requirements for use
To use Sec_Sess_Timeout or any other parameter supporting Open
Client security services, you must meet certain requirements for using
security services in your PowerBuilder application. For details, see
the section called “Requirements for using Open Client security services” in Connecting to Your Database.
Corresponding CT-Lib connection
property
Specifying a value for Sec_Sess_Timeout sets the corresponding SAP
Sybase CT-Lib connection property named CS_SEC_SESSTIMEOUT.
Examples
To specify 14,400 seconds (4 hours) remaining before a session
expires:
-
Database profile
Type 14400 in the Session Timeout box on the Security page in
the Database Profile Setup dialog box. -
