Setting the Session Duration

By default, the session duration is set to 30 minutes. You can change this value at installation by setting the JWT_EXPIRY property in the /autoid-config/vars.yml file.

If you did not set the value at installation, you can make the change after installation by setting the JWT_EXPIRY property using the API service.

To set the session duration:

Log in to the Docker manager node.
Verify the JWT_EXPIRY property.
```
$ docker inspect api_zoran-api
```
Go to the API folder.
```
$ cd /opt/autoid/res/api
```
Edit the docker-compose.yml file and update the JWT_EXPIRY property. The JWT_EXPIRY property is set to minutes.

Redeploy the Docker stack API.

$ docker stack deploy --with-registry-auth --compose-file docker-compose.yml api

If the command returns any errors, such as "image could not be accessed by the registry," then try the following command:

$ docker stack deploy --with-registry-auth --resolve-image changed \
    --compose-file /opt/autoid/res/api/docker-compose.yml api

Verify the new JWT_EXPIRY property.
```
$ docker inspect api_zoran-api
```
Log in to the Docker worker node.
Stop the worker node.
```
$ docker stop [container ID]
```
The Docker manager node re-initiates the worker node. Repeat this step on any other worker node.
