Timing out the session
I am attempting to set the session timeout value for a virtual server. What I want to do is to kill a session, once a user of some webservice grabbed some data. However, this is not working as expected. Below is a photo drawing out the scenario that typically tends to take case, in which, new sessions keep getting created for the same machine.
The red square denotes when a session was created, whereas the blue denotes when it will expire.
My configuration for the tcp profile looks as follows:
Am I missing something in making the RED and Blue squares closer in time? I.e Currently, the difference between the two is around 15 min. I want to make the Blue square (Expiration) much closer (if possible instantaneous) to expiring faster. My Java client that calls this webservice closes the connection, but I am not sure if there are any other packets I need to send for the F5 to undestand connection closing needs to take place.

Hi,
you are configuring tcp connection timeout instead of APM Session timeout
APM session timeout is configured in Access profile settings.

You should be updating the Maximum Session Timeout in the Access Policy, not the TCP timeout. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm-network-access-11-2-0/8.html?sr=56132087
