So, to confirm, Kevin, the session lifetime is an inactivity timer, but the login handler timeout doesn't get reset and is a max session lifetime. That correct?

It's unclear for the login handler timeouts from that page, but I'd expect it's the same: the counter gets reset after each login for that given login handler. Thus my statement about keeping my session alive on the IDP by hitting it every 29 minutes (assuming all SPs use the same login handler, that is).

The LoginHandler time is a hard stop I believe is the way Chad said it before..
