Kirk Lund commented on GEODE-2354:
----------------------------------

Options for fixing this:

1) increase globalSessionTimeout indefinitely 
(https://reviews.apache.org/r/55890/)
2) change IntegratedSecurityService.authorize to catch UnknownSessionException 
and re-authenticate

The problem with #2 is we don't currently store the credentials to 
re-authenticate with. This would require keeping a strong reference to 
instances of GeodeAuthenticationToken which contains a reference to the 
Properties containing the credentials. We pass the token to Shiro and that's 
the last we use the token.


> Use of security-manager results in UnknownSessionExceptions after 30 minutes 
> idle

> If the User specifies a SecurityManager with security-manager, all authorized 
> operations start to fail with UnknownSessionExceptions after 30 minutes idle 
> which is the default globalSessionTimeout in Apache Shiro.
> Workaround: specify security-shiro-init in gemfire.properties and configure 
> everything via Shiro within a shiro.ini.
> Fixing this will require changes to IntegratedSecurityService to set the 
> globalSessionTimeout higher or to re-authenticate after a timeout.
