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

[Jensen, John T]

It is not based on inactivity.  Refreshing, etc, does nothing.  Some stupid setting on the server does it.  Annoying - and stupid!

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.
