<p class="MsoPlainText">My application is checking the access token timeout and refreshing it if expired. The thing is, the tokens are being invalidated after the SSO session timeout. So if I have the access token timeout set to 4 hours, and the SSO timeout
set to 15 minutes, the access token and refresh tokens are both invalidated after only 15 minutes.
