OAM Global Session Lifetime parameter does not work for any Value Greater than 480 Minutes /8 hours

Environment: 

Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 14c 14.1.2.1

Issue: 

When testing an application like Oracle Forms and Reports secured with OAM, session lifetime doesn't work when the configured value is greater than 480 minutes/8 hours.

User is asked to login again after 8 hours.

How to fix the issue:

You have to export the OAM configuration from the database to a file, then change the "" parameter and set the desired value.

Finnally import the OAM configuration  back to database, this process will automatically update the oam config file from the domain.

Example:

1. Create prop.properties file:

You will set here the connection values to connecto to OAM repository: 

oam.entityStore.ConnectString=jdbc:oracle:thin:@oamdb-scan:1521/OAMDB

oam.entityStore.schemaUser=DEV_OAM

oam.entityStore.schemaPassword=pass_oam_repo

oam.importExportDirPath=/home/oracle/oamconfig

oam.frontending=params=host;port;protocol

2. Export OAM configuration:

Run the following command:

java -cp $ORACLE_HOME/idm/oam/server/tools/config-utility/config-utility.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jdbc/ojdbc11.jar oracle.security.am.migrate.main.ConfigCommand $DOMAIN_HOME export /home/oracle/oamconfig/prop.properties

This will create a oam-config.xml file

3. Change "CredentialValidityInterval" parameter to disered value:

Look inside oam-config.xml file for the parameter and change the value in minutes:

In my case 840 Minutes = 14 Hours

4. Import OAM configuraton back again to database:

Now, the final step is to import back the modified xml to database. Run the following command:

java -cp $ORACLE_HOME/idm/oam/server/tools/config-utility/config-utility.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jdbc/ojdbc11.jar oracle.security.am.migrate.main.ConfigCommand $DOMAIN_HOME import /home/oracle/oamconfig/prop.properties

This procedure has been performed while the OAM server is running.
