I am the only person who uses this computer, and it would be great to be able to avoid re-logging on more than once per day.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I can't see an option in My Settings, or a relevant post in the Community.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Can anyone help?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Norman.</P> Sun, 11 Oct 2020 12:23:55 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690782#M4384 Norman21 2020-10-11T12:23:55Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690789#M4385 <P>You can't assume that it is the sas community server that is disconnecting you.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>It could easily be (and in my experience probably is) an internet service provider between your system and the community server that breaks the connection after observing no traffic for a given period of time.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 11 Oct 2020 14:01:54 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690789#M4385 mkeintz 2020-10-11T14:01:54Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690798#M4386 <P>Currently you would be "signed out" after a period of inactivity, currently about 3 hours.&nbsp; But...sign in is managed by your SAS profile, so re-authenticating often does not require you to enter credentials again, since that authentication can be managed in browser cookies.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>But cookie expiry policies can be affected by your own org policies and network.</P> Sun, 11 Oct 2020 16:04:47 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690798#M4386 ChrisHemedinger 2020-10-11T16:04:47Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690821#M4387 <P>I too find having to repeatedly re-enter my credentials during the day to be pretty annoying. &nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>However, I find that if I periodically refresh my screen, it stays connected all day, and I only have to enter my credentials once per day. &nbsp;So, even when I'm busy at work, and don't have time to see what's going on with SAS communities, I just flip every few hours over to my browser and hit F5.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Jim</P> Sun, 11 Oct 2020 20:17:54 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690821#M4387 jimbarbour 2020-10-11T20:17:54Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690889#M4388 <P>Thank you all for the swift replies!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I'll try the "F5" suggestion of jimbarbour, as that is straightforward and under my control.</P> Mon, 12 Oct 2020 06:33:04 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/All-Things-Community/How-do-I-increase-the-time-I-can-stay-logged-on-to-the-Community/m-p/690889#M4388 Norman21 2020-10-12T06:33:04Z
