Timeout considerations

When configuring WebSEAL as a reverse proxy for RPC over HTTP requests, set the following values in the [server] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file:

• client-connect-timeout
• intra-connection-timeout

These timeout configuration entries affect the Outlook client connection. To keep the connection open longer for data streaming, use large timeout values. For example:

[server]
client-connect-timeout = 36000
intra-connection-timeout = 36000

When these timeout limits are reached, the Outlook client renegotiates a connection to the Exchange server.
