Setting the Session Length for the VMware Management Interface
Your management interface sessions times out after 60 minutes of idle time.

You can change this setting to any number of minutes, or you can block access to the management interface for all users by setting vmware_SESSION_LENGTH to 0 minutes. You can have persistent sessions that never time out by setting vmware_SESSION_LENGTH to -1.
On a Linux host, you can change this setting by running the management interface configuration program vmware-config-mui.pl. You can block access to the management interface for all users by setting the timeout length to 0 minutes. You can have persistent sessions that never time out by setting the timeout length to -1.
