Auto Logoff OWA after a certain amount of time.

I have a client and they were wondering if you can set OWA to time out after a certain amount of time if not being used??

For Exchnage 2003 user :

You can change the default timeout by changing the following registry setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ExchangeWeb\OWA
Registry Value: PublicClientTimeout
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: (possible setting decimal)

and

Registry Value: TrustedClientTimeout
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: (possible setting decimal)

On both registry values the possible settings will vary from 1 – 4320 (minutes). After changing these settings you have to restart your W3SVC service.

This server is used as a Hosted Email server for our clients. Will this affect all clients on the server or can I set it for one individual clien?

Thanks
