Setting the Front-end Worker Timeout Period

Key Manager front-end workers will time out if a request takes too long to complete. The timeout period is used by the Key Manager system to terminate requests that may have stalled. However, in certain Key Manager setups, such as in situations with lots of network latency between the front-end machine and the administrator workstation, this may cause premature termination of requests.

You can set the timeout period by performing the following on all Key Manager front ends:

1. Configure the new timeout period in the Key Manager setting Frontend timeout, found in the Settings→General→Backend page. The timeout period is specified in seconds.

2. Restart the frontend: service to apply the changes:

   # supervisorctl restart frontend:
