Life time of Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token.:
- System-wide setting defined by the keyword TCSRF:tcsrf
- tcsrf is the life time in minutes, to specify seconds: tcsrf must end with "s", e.g. TCSRF:30s
- If the keyword TCSRF is not specified, the life time is 360 minutes.
- If tcsrf is less than 5 seconds, no CSRF tokens will be used.
