In Exchange 2003, how do I set the Outlook Web Access (OWA) public/private cookie timeout value? All answers are at own risk: For OWA , public computer cookie timeout: Log-into the Front-end and start the registry editor. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Services\ MSExchangeWeb\ OWA Enter a new DWord Value called PublicClientTimeout Modify the value and click on Decimal and type in a value in minutes between 1 and 432,000. Click OK. You will need to restart IIS . For the private computer cookie timeout: create a DWord value called TrustedClientTimeout in the same place. Enter a Decimal value between 1 and 432,000.
