Change OTP Validity Time

The validity time for an OTP is by default set to 60 seconds. This global parameter can be changed in the application-prod.yml file.

Default path to the file in Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mideye Server 6\config\application-prod.yml

The default path to the file in Linux:
/opt/mideyeserver6/config/application-prod.yml

Find the in the section named ‘application’ and add the line below, where xxx is replaced with the time in seconds.

otp-timeout: xxx

Below is an example of how the section should look after the change is made, take note of the indentation:

application:
  switch-host: primary.mideye.com
  switch-backup-host: secondary.mideye.com
  switch-port: 2xxxx
  log-path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mideye Server 6\log
  otp-timeout: xxx

The Mideye Server service must be re-started for the change to take effect.
