Answer 1

As of Jenkins version 2.107.2 you'll want to include sessionEviction

For example to keep people logged in for 24 hours and 12 hours of inactivity:

--sessionTimeout=1440 --sessionEviction=43200

If you don't specify sessionEviction people who close the tab will get logged out after 30 minutes.

Answer 2

If Jenkins is running as a Windows service (jenkins.exe), parameters can be edited in jenkins.xml in the installation directory.
