Login Sessions

🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Add the ability to set a timeout on the login session

📝 Detailed description

Right now, logins are 1 time use and you have to login each time you refresh. This can be cumbersome if you're messing around and refresh the page or something triggers a refresh. With session cookies and stuff, a user can refresh a multiple times and not be presented with the login screen but back to where they left off.

💡 Why is this useful?

This would be a quality of life improvement as refreshing the page can be frustrating as you have to login again. By adding it, the user could login, navigate and refresh the page and it should allow them back in without logging in again.

If I were going to do this, I would definitely look at cookies to do it, but would also potentially look at multiple logins, roles, timeouts(1 time use vs x minutes), and implement LDAP/OIDC for integration. I know this is more for community use than enterprise style set ups but would allow flexibility.

I am going to say the level of effort though for the cookie should be low, but the expansion of capability very high, but if someone is willing to take a stab at it, I have absolutely no issue testing the code and providing reports. :)

Thanks for the report, this is a bug and should not happen, i take a look as soon as i can.

@gdeeble i would be up to add oidc, i note that down.

[michelroegl-brunner]

The ldap, oidc will be added in the future. For now i dont see the need for extensive user roles or implementations. Or at least i dont really know what would be needed here. Maybe you can create a new feature request what you imagine would be usefull here.
