How can I limit the length of a webclient session to a maximum of 60 minutes of no activity?

…/server/conf/web.xml:

```auto
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

That will only work for clients, that have closed the tab in browser, or the whole browser window.  
If you want clients to automatically logout after 30 or 60 minutes of idle time, you need the UserManager plugin for that.
