Slideshow app: Can we disable timeout settings, and is there a way to log in without credentials after a search head is restarted?

hi

Can you please confirm how to to set up the SlideShow app to have:
- Disabled timeout: i.e. currently we have timeout set at 1 hour. So if we run the SlideShow app, can we have it run 12 hours continuously without timing out?
- Autologin options after a Search Head is restarted: How to log in without credentials or insecure options etc..?

I believe later versions of Splunk won't require you to re-login when it restarts. That part of the problem should go away once you upgrade to a later version of Splunk.

it is still present in 6.4.x unfortunately.

Yes, you can increase timeouts :

Link for timeouts is incorrect, try http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1/Admin/Configureusertimeouts
