Change Vsphere 6.7 VCSA vcenter web client timeout

We recently upgraded from vmware 6.0 to vmware 6.7 and moved to the VCSA and are now forced to use the web client and the interface timeout is very short at 15 min for a multitasking admin that does not manage only vmware. We wanted to change our interface timeout to be much longer since anyway our computer are locked when we move away from it. This procedure works for both Vsphere web client and Vpshere client (HTML5 or Flex) but the change must be done under the "old" Flex client.

1-      Log into the vsphere web client (Flex)

2-      Go into “host and cluster” view

3-      Select the vcenter server

4-      In the right pane, choose “Configure”

5-      Choose advanced vCenter Server Settings

6-      Choose edit

7-      In the edit box, search for “timeout”

8-      Edit the “vpxd.http.clientIdleTimeout” value 

8-      We set it at 32400 (value is in second and equal to 9h) so you login once a day into it.

9-      Click “Ok”
