In SSH connections, if the user remains idle for a while, the session is automatically terminated. This time limit can be changed by the system administrator by following these steps:

1. Login to Kron PAM instance CLI as pamuser.
2. Open /pam/ssh/conf/nsso.properties with a text editor.
3. Set sc.idlesession.timeout parameter in seconds.
4. Save and exit.
