Re: Allow session cookie to be persistent ( https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/IDP-2124?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWU2ZmZjOTQ2MmM5NGMzZWI4YjE2ZWU5ZmNjYTg3YzgiLCJwIjoiaiJ9 )

The cookie’s lifetime has nothing to do with SSO other than the obvious, it’s an upper bound. Authentication results are valid for as long as they’re told to be, years or longer. Getting that data to persist is also not a problem, but the index into the data is in the cookie that’s disappearing.

So yes, the missing piece is making the cookie persistent. The rest is policy and is already configurable. If you never deleted the session cookies (as most browsers now do not), you can already make SSO last as long as you want, it’s only constrained by the cookie not disappearing.
