[rhn-users] RHN Hosted web session expires too quickly

[Marti, Robert]

Agreed - when it works fine it's a decent time.  But there is a LOT of the time that I get forced to re-login while clicking through menus.

Maybe they have some shoddy hardware that keeps kernel panicing, and session is cookie based, so when you failover to another node it restarts the session?

In my recent experience it doesn't seem to be based on inactivity at all. When I'm creating new RHN accounts I can't even complete two new accounts before I'm required to login again. I get redirected to the login page right in the middle on a continuous stream of work on RHN and it is very annoying indeed.
