<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">We have Shibboleth SP 2.3.1 and 2.4.2
<br>
<br>
The IDP is Novell Access Manager 3.1 and it does not provide the SessionNotOnOrAfter attribute.
<br>
&nbsp; <br>
In 2.3.1 this does not affect the SP Session as it uses the values in the Session lifetime setting.
<br>
&nbsp; <br>
In 2.4.2 we are seeing that the Shib Session is created and destroyed within 1 second.
<br>
&nbsp; <br>
Is this a bug in 2.4.2 or is there a new configuration item required ? i have looked but could not find it.
<br>
&nbsp; <br>
&lt;Sessions lifetime=&quot;14400&quot; timeout=&quot;3600&quot; checkAddress=&quot;false&quot; handlerURL=&quot;/myapp/Shibboleth.sso&quot; cookieName=&quot;myappCookie&quot; handlerSSL=&quot;false&quot;&gt;<br>
<br>
I would expect the session life to 14400 but the session is destroyed immediately as can be seen below.
