  - Setting Server Side Timeout for Session Management
    Describes how to configure server side timeout to automatically log a Data Fabric user out of an inactive user session in the Data Fabric Web UI application (Control System UI, the Object Store UI or the Data Fabric UI).
  - Security Settings for Ecosystem Components
    Lists the security settings for all HPE Data Fabric ecosystem components.
  - Security Exceptions
    "Secure by default" means network-safe authentication and encryption. This page describes areas in which secure-by-default capabilities are not yet implemented for the Data Fabric platform or ecosystem components. Included where applicable, are links to more information to help you work around those issues.
- YARN
- Client Connections
  The following sections describe how a client connects to local and remote Data Fabric clusters.
8.0.0 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
8.0.0 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.

Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

Enabling Secured Browser Window

Describes how to enable secure browsing in a browser tab or browser window by enabling forced logout of a user on closing the browser tab or window.

As a standard web browser behavior, the user session details of a web application are preserved by web browser, when a user closes the browser tab/window without logging out of a Data Fabric web application (Data Fabric UI, Object Store UI, Control System). Therefore, when the user revisits the same web application next time, user doesn't need to re-login to the web application.

The standard browser behavior applies to the Data Fabric web UI applications, too.

For security reasons, you can enable a forced logout from a Data Fabric web UI application, when user closes the web browser tab or window without logging out of the application.

ATTENTION

If forced logout is enabled for the Data Fabric web UI applications, refreshing of the Data Fabric web UI application page triggers a forced logout from the application.

To enable forced logout, set the dfui.security.securedtabwindow to true in the Data Fabricconfiguration. Default is false.

See config for more information and config save for an example.
