Kill Session Timeout in NAV

In NAV 2013 and later, STOPSESSION(“SESSION ID”) is all you need to create a “Kill Session” button.

Steps to create:
1. Object Designer > Pages > Page 9506:  Design
2. Create a new action (i.e. name=Kill, image=Delete, promoted=TRUE)
3. C/AL for the new action:  IF CONFIRM (‘Are you sure you want to kill the user session?’) THEN STOPSESSION(“Session ID”);

Idle Session Timeout in NAV

In NAV 2013 and later, the “Idle Sessions Timeout” Parameter on the Client Services tab of the Service Tier configuration management is what you want to change.  Format in the field is: [dd.]hh:mm:ss[.ff] where dd (days) and ff (fractions of second) are optional.  In my example screenshot, the timeout should be at 45 minutes:
