## Setting TTL on Kubeconfig Tokens
### Setting TTL on Kubeconfig Tokens
Admins can set a global time-to-live (TTL) on Kubeconfig tokens. Changing the default kubeconfig TTL can be done by navigating to global settings and setting [`kubeconfig-default-token-ttl-minutes`](#kubeconfig-default-token-ttl-minutes) to the desired duration in minutes. The default value of [`kubeconfig-default-token-ttl-minutes`](#kubeconfig-default-token-ttl-minutes) is 0, which means tokens never expire.

### Disable Tokens in Generated Kubeconfigs
## Disable Tokens in Generated Kubeconfigs
1. Set the `kubeconfig-generate-token` setting to `false`. This setting instructs Rancher to no longer automatically generate a token when a user clicks on download a kubeconfig file. Once this setting is deactivated, a generated kubeconfig will reference the [Rancher CLI](../reference-guides/cli-with-rancher/kubectl-utility.md#authentication-with-kubectl-and-kubeconfig-tokens-with-ttl) to retrieve a short-lived token for the cluster. When this kubeconfig is used in a client, such as `kubectl`, the Rancher CLI needs to be installed to complete the log in request.

## Token Hashing
### Token Hashing
Users can enable token hashing, where tokens undergo a one-way hash using the SHA256 algorithm. This is a non-reversible process: once enabled, this feature cannot be disabled. It is advisable to take backups prior to enabling and/or evaluating in a test environment first.

| [`kubeconfig-token-ttl-minutes`](#kubeconfig-token-ttl-minutes) | TTL used for tokens generated via the CLI. **Deprecated since version 2.6.6, and will be removed in 2.8.0.** This setting will be removed, and `kubeconfig-default-token-TTL-minutes` will be used for all kubeconfig tokens. |
| [`kubeconfig-default-token-ttl-minutes`](#kubeconfig-default-token-ttl-minutes) | Default TTL applied to all kubeconfig tokens except for tokens [generated by Rancher CLI](#disable-tokens-in-generated-kubeconfigs). |
| [`auth-token-max-ttl-minutes`](#auth-token-max-ttl-minutes) | Max TTL for all tokens except those controlled by [`auth-user-session-ttl-minutes`](#auth-user-session-ttl-minutes). |

#### auth-user-session-ttl-minutes
Time to live (TTL) duration in minutes used to determine when a user auth session token expires. When expired, the user will be required to log in and obtain a new token. This setting is not affected by [`auth-token-max-ttl-minutes`](#auth-token-max-ttl-minutes). Session tokens are created when a user logs into Rancher.
### auth-user-session-ttl-minutes
#### kubeconfig-default-token-TTL-minutes
Time to live (TTL) duration in minutes used to determine when a kubeconfig token expires. When the token is expired, the API will reject the token. This setting can not be larger than [`auth-token-max-ttl-minutes`](#auth-token-max-ttl-minutes). This setting applies to a token generated in a requested kubeconfig file. Except those [generated by Rancher CLI](#disable-tokens-in-generated-kubeconfigs).

This setting is not affected by [`auth-token-max-ttl-minutes`](#auth-token-max-ttl-minutes). Session tokens are created when a user logs into Rancher.
#### kubeconfig-token-ttl-minutes
Time to live (TTL) duration in minutes used to determine when a kubeconfig token that was generated by the CLI expires. Tokens are generated by the CLI when [`kubeconfig-generate-token`](#kubeconfig-generate-token) is false. When the token is expired, the API will reject the token. This setting can not be larger than [`auth-token-max-ttl-minutes`](#auth-token-max-ttl-minutes).

#### kubeconfig-generate-token
When true, kubeconfigs requested through the UI will contain a valid token. When false, the kubeconfig will contain a command that uses the Rancher CLI to prompt the user to log in.
