Is it possible to set a shorter automatic-logout idle timeout for one group of users (like office/finance staff) while leaving another group (like warehouse/scanner users) with no timeout at all, the way Oracle Profiles' Idle Time setting normally would for a database session?

Answer

No — since Apps9, IFS clients don't use dedicated, per-user database sessions the way they once did, so an Oracle Profile's Idle Time setting has no effect on forcing a user to log back in, and killing the underlying database session directly doesn't force a re-login either. The only mechanism available is a single global system parameter that forces re-authentication after a defined period of inactivity — it applies uniformly to every user (it can't be scoped to specific users or groups), and it only affects the IEE client at the client level, not anything enforced at the database level.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
