Simple (possibly stupid) question here.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I have a user who has authenticated and now have a valid session my understanding is that they are good with the SP until cookie expires. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If my IDP fails over to another IDP that doesn't know anything about the sessions my user is still good. Where is the benefit in fiddling with Teracotta/memcached to get session retention during failover?</div>
