Description Alexey Varlamov 2009-07-06 01:24:26 UTC 
Keeping session alive while user continues interaction with server is an usual and convenient feature, however it is missing currently in stock modules (auth_form + session).
Suggested enhancement is to add "AuthFormSessionRenew" flag, which would refresh session (i.e. reset expiry) each time the user issues a request and passes authentication. Please see the patch attached.

Suggested fix.

Argh, seems the patch did not attach initially.

mod_session should renew on each hit by default, there should be no need for an additional switch for this.

Can you confirm if the latest v2.4 or trunk still shows a problem?

Alternative fix applied from PR47476.
