Hello,

We use domain login for our Ignition designers. Our problem is that sometimes the Internet connection is unstable and there is a temporary dropout. Unfortunately, after the connection is lost, a re-login is required which causes a lot of problems and loss of changes over the project. Is there any way to prolong the timeout or deactivate the need to log in again after a lost connection?

The following message is displayed:

Best regards,  
Michał

Sorry, but I'd say that makes your environment unfit for domain-based functionality. IMNSHO.

Consider using a local domain controller where your designers are running.

What version of Ignition is this? There's been some recent changes to try to hold authentication state better in the Designer and Vision.
