Hi Daniel, The clients I mean, are the ones that are mounting filesystems from the Ganesha server (one for each Ganesha export). It is these mounts that are failing after 24 hours. Will extending the Credential_LifeTime fix that? Thanks. -Jeff On 9/29/20, 4:38 AM, "Daniel Gryniewicz" <dang@redhat.com> wrote: Credential_LifeTime defaults to 24 hours (86400 seconds).

I'm sorry, I thought I had answered. I'm not an expert in Proxy, so I can't say for sure. I'd expect GSS creds to refresh transparently to Ganesha's client, but there may be a bug there. Daniel On 9/30/20 11:33 AM, Becker, Jeffrey C. (ARC-TN)[InuTeq, LLC] via Support wrote:

Did my answer help? My use case is that I'd like to have the client mounts persist (until unmounted, or server goes down). What's the best way to configure Ganesha to do that? Thanks.

Since this is proxy, "client" is an ambiguous term. Can you be more explicit by what you mean by "timeout parameter for clients"? Which client do you mean?

Okay, I just assumed GSS since Credential_LifeTime is for GSS. It must be something else, then. You'll have to turn on logging, and see why the session is being dropped. Daniel On 9/30/20 2:03 PM, Becker, Jeffrey C. (ARC-TN)[InuTeq, LLC] wrote:

We don't use GSS. I configured the Ganesha build without it. Seems like the session renewal failures have to do with something else? Thanks.
