Session Preview Token Expiration

Question

I am trying to increase the expiration time for my session preview tokens, I wonder if it is configurable.

By default it gives you about 3 minutes, but I think it is too short, I would like to increase it to 20 minutes.

Any idea would be helpful.

You need to update the timeout node value in the cd_storage_conf.xml file of your content delivery web-service. This appears to be a keep alive, and not a fixed timeout value.

Timeout value is in milliseconds, and is set to 1 minute below, default is 120000 or 2 minutes if my memory serves me correctly.
