Session timeout not working?

Not sure when this broke, but within NPM 10.6, session timeout is no longer timing out. I can leave my account on a non-refreshing screen (like the Add Node properties screen) and go away for hours and when I come back, I'm still logged in. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello, there are some reasons, what I remember, why the session doesn't timeout by design. These are:

You have opened refreshing page in another browser tab (also asynchronous elements might keep the session alive)
Your user has disabled session timeout (check in account settings - edit account - Disable Session Timeout)
You use windows authentication (autologin), so even if the session timeouts, you are relogged in after clicking somewhere, so it may look like the session wasn't interrupted.

Coul you, please confirm if it's one of the reasons above?

Thanks,

Honza

2. Your user has disabled session timeout (check in account settings - edit account - Disable Session Timeout)

seems most probable

That was actually the first thing I checked, right after making sure there was a session timeout.
