Hi All,
Tomcat Version : 9.0.75 Operating System: Windows and Linux Bits: 64 Tomcat 9.0.75 not honoring session timeout configured in tomcat/conf/web.xml for FORM Authentication and it is effecting customers. ========================== <session-config> <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> // 30 minutes </session-config> ========================= Verified the Tomcat source code - FormAuthenticator overriding above configured session timeout setting (30 minutes) with value (120 seconds) - As per FormAuthenticator.Java, this change/issue started from Tomcat Version : 9.0.74 for FORM Authentication and it overwrites the original session-timeout value - This issue/behavior not observed in 9.0.73 Verified the Tomcat documentation - Verified the tomcat changelog, there is a fix/change went in Tomcat 9.0.74 below related to FORM Based Authentication Session @ https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/changelog.html, looks which is causing this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harden the FORM authentication process against DoS attacks by using a reduced session timeout if the FORM authentication process creates a session. The duration of this timeout is configured by the authenticationSessionTimeout attribute of the FORM authenticator. (markt) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it bug ? Could you please help/suggest.
