This property specifies how often the LastUpdated fields in the UserSession and ApplicationSession database tables is updated. The LastUpdated fields are used to detect whether the session is still in use. If a process terminates abnormally without terminating the session, this field is used to eventually timeout the session. The UserAuth web service caches updates to session usage, and then updates the LastUpdated field at the frequency that is specified by DatabaseKeepAliveUpdateInterval. Caching the database updates minimizes database load in the case of URLs being accessed frequently.

The value is specified in seconds.

The default value is 60 (that is, 1 minute).

To update the LastUpdated field immediately (that is, not use caching), specify 0.

The length of time before a user session expires.

This value is measured in seconds.

The default value is 600 (that is, 10 minutes).

The minimum value is 60.
