How can I change USFconnects default timeout?
By default, USFconnect has been set to timeout after eight (8) hours of inactivity. Using the steps below, you can lower your timeout. Regardless of what timeout you choose to set, ITS encourages you to log out of USFconnect if you leave your computer unattended or, if on a PC, lock your computer using Ctrl+Alt+Delete. To change this timeout to something shorter or longer, please do the following: • Log into USFconnect: http://usfconnect.usfca.edu • Click on the Options button located just under the USF log. • Expand the User Options Menu so you can see the choices available. • Click on the link for Timeout. • In the Set System Timeout window select the number of minutes you want to set the timeout to from the pop-up menu. 240 minutes (or 4 hours) is the current default timeout. • Click the OK button to save the changes. It will take approximately 15-minutes for the timeout change to take effect.
