Re-authenticating in z/OSMF

Your z/OSMF session expires after a period of time has elapsed. By default, this period is 495 minutes from the time you log into z/OSMF. Your installation can choose to modify this setting (SESSION_EXPIRE) using the IZUPRMxx parmlib member. z/OSMF. For details, see Optionally creating a IZUPRMxx parmlib member.

The re-authentication dialog box is displayed for 15 minutes. If you re-authenticate before the period ends, the tabs (in the work area) are unaffected by the re-authentication. If you do not respond before the re-authentication period ends, you are logged out, the tabs in the work area are closed, and any unsaved data is lost.

If you launched multiple instances of z/OSMF in the same browser (using new tabs or new windows) and your browser is configured to use the same browser session for new windows or tabs, the session for each instance will expire simultaneously; hence, a re-authentication dialog box is displayed in each tab or window. In this case, you can respond to one re-authentication dialog box and you are automatically re-logged into or logged out of each instance. If you launched multiple z/OSMF instances using different computers or different browsers or using multiple instances of a browser that is not configured to use the same browser session, the browser sessions are treated independently and each z/OSMF instance will require its own re-authentication.

While the re-authentication dialog box is displayed, you cannot interact with any tasks in that z/OSMF instance. You cannot explicitly close the dialog box. You can only close it by choosing to log in or log out.
