User Activity Session

Can we change the length of time a user’s session stays active (i.e. how long before foundry logs them out and requires re-authentication)?

I found these docs (https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/security/single-sign-on-security) but is there a way to configure this?

No, session lifetimes are not configurable.

There are a couple reasons for this:

  • We require regular authentications to ensure that user information stays up-to-date with the backing identity provider.
  • Long-lived tokens are security risk. We could mitigate this risk using short-lived tokens with a refresh mechanism, but that’s simply not how sessions are implemented today.
