IDP session timeout

Hi, all,

I know the IDP has a session timeout value that defaults to 30 minutes and that gets reset each time the user authenticates to an SP. So, in that regard, it's an inactivity timeout, not a max session lifetime. If I log into a new SP every 29 minutes, I only have to type my password the 1st time then can keep going as long as I have new SPs to log into.

Is there a setting swomewhere in the IDP that controls max session lifetime? I know the SP has these two values for inactivity and max lifetime, but I can only find info on the one value in the IDP.

Thanks,
Keith
