23.10 PR: https://github.com/truenas/webui/pull/7667

Ideally, this should be:

• tunable on a per truenas install basis

• tunable from truecommand

• configurable within the web UI

• per-user/group-tunable up to the max-limit set per parent (usergroup/instance/cluster/whatever)

• logs/events should occur around changes (limits changed/ timeouts occurred)

  • this facilitates other things subscribing to the events to do things like nuking app-related sessions, or cluster-scoped sessions/etc

TODO:

• In 22.12.1 switch webui to use api.login_with_token. This endpoint should be called after we generate a token.

• In 22.12.1 and Cobia, add a timeout mechanism to webui. After a certain period of inactivity (decide how to determine this) warn user that they may be logged out with an option to extend session.
  Let’s try to do this in a nicer way than just a dialog.
  If session is not extended, forget token and take user to login screen.

Not sure why this does not get traction, as I saw discussions about it both on the forum/github and there is even a blog post about this now:

Should be an easy fix and this woul save a lot of frustrations.

Thank you for such a great product!
