Use the glide.ui.user_cookie.max_life_span_in_days property to set a maximum life span for user cookies created when users log in with the Remember Me checkbox selected. When the
cookie expires, users who have selected the Remember Me checkbox are forced to reauthenticate into the instance.
It enables the user cookie to be valid for the duration of specified days, starting when the cookie was first issued. The default value is 30 days, and the maximum cap is at 365 days.  
Hinweis:  
To enforce a maximum session time for any active user sessions, see [Managing user sessions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_ManageUserSessions&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).
