Closing Browser doesn't Log Out of OneView

Hello,

We are looking for a setting or some configuration that clears the cookies upon exiting the browser.  Right now, if you don't log out and just close the browser, you can open the browser and your session will still be up.  This can pose a security problem for us.

 

Thanks,

Austin

Do these cookies have an expiration time?

According to HPE, 24 hours.
