Does anyone know from where instanceid cookie is created

[Pranjal]

In nextcloud 28 version. I can see a cookie (marked in red box) in my browser’s cookie section. The cookie name is value of ‘instanceid’ variable defined in /config/config.php file.

Does anyone know the code line or file from where this cookie is set?? I need to change its Expires/Max-Age setting for a security measure.

I need to change its Expires/Max-Age setting

You don’t need to tamper the code for that:

I already tried ‘remember_login_cookie_lifetime’ => 1800 & ‘session_lifetime’ => 1800

Still Expires/Max-Age for instanceid cookie is “Session”

You should play around with session_keepalive and auto_logout then
