XRDP remote timeout settings

[Harsh-ECX]

I want to change my XRDP timeout settings: -

MY idle session disconnected after every 2mins; I have changed required configuration file at /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini

---

[Sessions]
;; X11DisplayOffset - x11 display number offset
; Type: integer
; Default: 10
X11DisplayOffset=10

;; MaxSessions - maximum number of connections to an xrdp server
; Type: integer
; Default: 0
MaxSessions=5

;; IdleTimeLimit - when to disconnect idle sessions
; Type: integer
; Default: 0
; If set to 0, automatic disconnection is disabled.
; if not zero, the seconds before a disconnected session is killed
IdleTimeLimit=300

;; KillDisconnected - kill disconnected sessions
; Type: boolean
; Default: false
; if 1, true, or yes, kill session after 60 seconds
KillDisconnected=true

;; DisconnectedTimeLimit - when to kill idle sessions
; Type: integer
; Default: 0
; if not zero, the seconds before a disconnected session is killed
; min 60 seconds
DisconnectedTimeLimit=300

Can anyone help me out with this issue!
Thanks!

@Harsh-ECX - a couple of questions for you:-

1. xrdp version and operating system?
2. Are you using the xorgxrdp back-end?
3. The above settings look like they should cause a timeout of 5 minutes. Are you saying that you are getting 2 minutes instead?

Thanks.

@matt335672 --> Thanks for looking into this issue,
Let me answer your asked question below: -

1. Xrdp version --> Version: 0.9.5-2, operating system --->5.4.0-1109-azure unknown protocol version, can't use x11rdp #115~18.04.1-Ubuntu

2. Yes, dpkg --list |grep xrdp
   ii xorgxrdp 0.9.5-2 amd64 Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) modules for X.org
   ii xrdp 0.9.5-2 amd64 Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server

3. Yes, I have modified the configuration file for 5min timeout for idle sessions, but the session disconnects after 2mins idle.
   Let me know if you require any other details for the same.

There's only a limited amount we can do with that version - it's pretty old. Ubuntu 18.04 went out of support at the end of May, and I can't find any information on what exactly was packaged with your xorgxrdp version - we don't ship a v0.9.5-2 of xorgxrdp so I'm guessing it's what we shipped as 0.2.5.

Your connection is either terminating because the 5 minutes isn't being honoured, or because something else is terminating it. Can you remember if it was terminating before you modified the config?

[Harsh-ECX]

there were some other configurations that was causing the termination of my xrdp session, thank you for your help and support.

Can you list them and how you solved it?
