This session_timeout is the number of minutes that a session can remain idle before the server terminates it automatically. That value needed by Ramon is related to the last access which refreshed the session. Ramon, In that case, the information is hold by cherrypy.session cherrypy.session is a dict with the following data: [('username', u'guest'), ('robot-refresh', 1469022245.734541), ('roles', {'templates': 'user', 'guests': 'user', 'network': 'user', 'administration': 'user', 'storage': 'user', 'dashboard': 'user', 'system services': 'user', 'updates': 'user'}), ('groups', ['guest'])] the 'robot-refresh' contains the timestamp from the last requested. You can check check_auth_session() in src/wok/auth.py to understand how that value is set (time.time()) Also, do not use 'robot-refresh' hardcoded in your code. Use the constants defined in src/wok/auth.py So to get the amount of time the session will be alive you need to do: current_time = time.time() last_request = cherrypy.session[REFRESH] session_expires = last_request + (session_timeout * 60) still_alive = session_expires - current_time I hope it helps you.
