# Connection time limits

Your P4 Server administrator can configure the P4 Server to enforce time limits for users. P4 Server uses ticket-based authentication to enforce time limits. Because ticket-based authentication does not rely on environment variables or command-line options, it is more secure than password-based authentication.

Tickets are stored in a file in your home directory. After you have logged in, your ticket is valid for a limited period of time (by default, 12 hours).
