[Eril-l] Are there timeout settings for WAM?

[Beth M. Johns]

I'm pretty sure it's ProQuest that's doing that during a certain time of extended inactivity.  30 minutes.   https://support.proquest.com/articledetail?id=kA11W000000TjHVSA0

I don't know of any script, but it's a good idea!

Subject: [Eril-l] Are there timeout settings for WAM?


Hi all – Had a student report timeouts of her WAM connection after about 20 minutes when reading an EbookCentral ebook, accessing thrugh the WAM proxy. I read the same book successfully last night for half an hour, but the student was not clicking the page during that time while I was. She was writing during that time. I thought I’d try a Chrome script that clicked the page every 5 minutes (there must already be one?), but anyone know if we have. Now that I think of it, it’s Proquest that must be timing us out.  Any ideas?
