Timeout Guest Sessions
Use a system property to control the inactive session timeout for unauthenticated users.
Use the glide.guest.session_timeout system property to control the inactive session timeout for unauthenticated users. By default, the value of this property is 30 minutes. If there are availability concerns from persisting too many sessions in memory, the value of this property can be lowered to 5. Avoid setting this property greater than 30, as large timeout values increase the number of sessions persisted by the instance, and may cause minor availability concerns.
Ensure that the glide.guest.session_timeout system property is configured to the default value of 30. In the rare case there are availability concerns from persisting too many sessions in memory, the value of this property can be lowered to 5.

| Security risk | - Severity score:4.3 - CVSS score: Medium - Security risk details: Avoid setting this property greater than 30. Large timeout values increase the number of sessions persisted by the instance, and may cause minor availability concerns. |
| Functional Impact | Small timeout values can result in an undesirable user experience as sessions expire too rapidly. If there are availability concerns from persisting too many sessions in memory, the value of this property can be lowered to 5. |
