[Spacewalk-list] API session timeout

[Steve Meier]

Dear all,

while running a huge import of Errata I encountered what seems to be a session timeout:

INFO: Creating errata for DSA-2274 (wireshark -- several vulnerabilities) (10 of 10)
INFO: Publishing Errata for DSA-2274
INFO: Adding CVE information to DSA-2274
Fault returned from XML RPC Server, fault code -1: redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: Could not find session with id: 69665

real    189m55.605s
user    0m54.223s
sys     0m3.358s

At this point the script had been running for a little over 3 hours (very slow machine).

Is the API session refreshed if a call is made?
If not, what's the default timeout?
Is there a way to prevent this by either re-authenticating or setting the timeout?

Kind regards,
  Steve Meier
