[keycloak-user] Is there a secret maximum SSO Idle Timeout

Not quite sure what you mean about secret timeouts. It's configurable in the admin console and the way it's supposed to work is:

* Idle timeout - requires a token refresh within the specified interval otherwise the session will expire
* Max timeout - the session will expire after this amount of time no matter what

On top of that for the session to survive a browser restart the user has to check the remember-me option.

If the behaviour you observe differs from this it's a bug. What version are you using? There was some related fixes in 1.0.1.Final (KEYCLOAK-689).
