GssTokenIOTimeout

module

Type:

integer

Default:

10

Required?:

Description

Controls how long omgssapi waits for each full GSSAPI handshake token while it initializes a secured forwarding session. The timeout covers both the 4-byte token length and the token payload.

Increase this value if the receiver is reachable only over slow or high-latency links. Set it to 0 to disable the deadline entirely. Negative values are rejected as configuration errors.

Module usage

action(type="omgssapi" target="receiver.mydomain.com")

Legacy names (for reference)

Historic names/directives for compatibility. Do not use in new configs.
