AI Summary

  • To change the session inactivity timeout value in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, go to System administration > Setup > System parameters and adjust the Session inactivity timeout in minutes field.
  • Setting the session timeout to 60 minutes can lead to potential security risks if left unattended, as unauthorized access to data may occur.
  • A 5-minute session timeout can be inconvenient, especially when running slow reports or tasks that take longer to complete.
  • It is recommended to synchronize the Dynamics 365 session timeout with the device's lockout period to maintain security and efficiency.
  • Custom logging for session timeouts is essential for monitoring user activities and ensuring compliance with security protocols.
  • Extending D365 to log user logouts due to inactivity involves creating an event handler or chain of command and storing data in a custom table.
  • Consider using Dynamics 365's batch job framework for long-running operations to avoid session disruptions or utilize the SysOperation framework for asynchronous processing.
