ServiceNow property description:

This configuration will enforce max life-span on active integration http sessions irrespective of inactive timeout. The configured value is in minutes and the value of zero will disable timing out the active sessions. The max life-span should be more than inactive timeout glide.integration.session_timeout (default 1 minutes).

My personal property description:

The glide.integrations.active.session.life_span property in ServiceNow sets the maximum duration, in minutes, for active authenticated HTTP sessions for integrations. When this property is configured, it ensures that integration sessions do not remain open indefinitely by enforcing a time limit, regardless of activity. Impact: Setting this property helps improve security by limiting how long integration sessions can stay active, reducing the risk of unauthorized access if a session token is compromised. Configuration: You can set the value in minutes. Setting it to zero disables this timeout, allowing sessions to stay active indefinitely, which is less secure. For a secure environment, it�s recommended to set a reasonable session life span to ensure sessions expire and require re-authentication periodically.

AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property `glide.integrations.active.session.life_span` enforces a maximum lifespan on active integration HTTP sessions, regardless of the inactive timeout setting. The value for this property is specified in minutes, and setting it to zero will disable the timeout for active sessions. It is important to ensure that the maximum lifespan configured is greater than the inactive timeout defined by `glide.integration.session_timeout`, which defaults to 1 minute. This property helps manage the duration for which integration sessions remain active, enhancing security and resource management. Proper configuration of this property ensures that sessions do not persist indefinitely, thereby reducing potential security risks.
