wso2 IS 5.0 SP1 : session persistence

Question

We are using WSO2 Is 5.0 sp1. We are using the session persistence feature where we have given the following config

 <SessionDataPersist>
 <Enable>true</Enable>
 <RememberMePeriod>30</RememberMePeriod>
 <CleanUp>
 <Enable>true</Enable>
  <Period>5</Period>
 <TimeOut>35</TimeOut>
 </CleanUp>
<Temporary>false</Temporary>
</SessionDataPersist>

Our observation is that after 15 min of session inactivity wso2 IS time-outs. This means that even after specifying session persistence of higher value the session still timesout after 15 min of inactivity in wso2 IS. From the name of the property I feel that we need to set the remember me on the login page. Is this true? Thanks in advance

Yes. By default, idle timeout of SSO session is set to 15min. But you can configure the idle timeout using following property in /repository/conf/tomcat/carbon/WEB-INF/web.xml file.

<session-timeout>15</session-timeout>

However; i assume that there may be some issue with WSO2IS 5.0.0 SP1. It is not working as expected way with regarding session time. There seems be some bugs with it. Hope; it will be release SP2 with these fixes. But i guess it is better to try 5.1.0 which is going to release soon. Please find more details about session time out from here
