Need Help : Tomcat 9.0.75 not honoring session timeout configured in tomcat web.xml for FORM Authentication
Hi All,
Tomcat Version : 9.0.75
Operating System: Windows and Linux
Bits: 64
Tomcat 9.0.75 not honoring session timeout configured in
tomcat/conf/web.xml for FORM Authentication and it is effecting customers.
==========================
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout> // 30 minutes
</session-config>
=========================
Verified the Tomcat source code
- FormAuthenticator overriding above configured session timeout
setting (30 minutes) with value (120 seconds)
- As per FormAuthenticator.Java, this change/issue started from
Tomcat Version : 9.0.74 for FORM Authentication and it overwrites the
original session-timeout value
- This issue/behavior not observed in 9.0.73
Verified the Tomcat documentation
- Verified the tomcat changelog, there is a fix/change went in
Tomcat 9.0.74 below related to FORM Based Authentication Session @
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/changelog.html, looks which is
causing this issue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harden the FORM authentication process against DoS attacks by using a
reduced session timeout if the FORM authentication process creates a
session. The duration of this timeout is configured by the
authenticationSessionTimeout attribute of the FORM authenticator. (markt)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it bug ? Could you please help/suggest.
Thanks
Channa

Can you please state clearly what the issue actually is? This is
documented behavior of Tomcat. There is a well-documented setting that
you can adjust if necessary.
Are you reporting a problem? If so, it is not clear from your message above.
What test did you perform?
What did you expect to happen?
What actually happened that was different from your expectation?

1. Do not cross-post the same question to multiple lists.
2. Do not post the same question multiple times if you don't get an
answer as quickly as you would like. We all all volunteers here. If you
want a guaranteed SLA then pick you preferred vendor and pay for support.
