Configuring how soon changes to security settings take effect

By default, it takes 300 seconds (5 minutes) for a change to a Content Manager user's rights, permissions or user membership to be applied. You can change this time period by editing the Content Manager configuration file, Tridion.ContentManager.config.

Procedure

  1. On the Content Manager server, access %TRIDION_HOME%\config\.
  2. Rename Tridion.ContentManager.config to Web.config.
  3. From a Windows command prompt, run the following command in this directory:
    %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\FRAMEWORKFOLDER\VERSIONFOLDER\aspnet_regiis.exe -pdf "tridion.security" .
    where:
    • FRAMEWORKFOLDER is the name of the framework folder, either Framework or Framework64
    • VERSIONFOLDER is the name of the version folder, for example v4.9.30319
  4. Find the string accessTokenExpiration="300".
  5. Change the value 300 to the amount of time, in seconds, you would like Content Manager to wait before applying a change to a Content Manager user's rights, permissions or user membership.
  6. Save and close Web.config.
  7. Enter the following command (on one line) to protect Web.config:
    %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\FRAMEWORKFOLDER\VERSIONFOLDER\aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "tridion.security" . -prov TridionRsaProtectedConfigurationProvider

    where FRAMEWORKFOLDER and VERSIONFOLDER are as before.

  8. Rename Web.config back to Tridion.ContentManager.config.
  9. Restart IIS.
