I would look at the following scenario: A user starts with the login process and then takes a long break (15 mins or more) without locking his computer.

There are critical processes like password changes, which should definitely expires after a view minutes and others like authentication which does not matter if they don’t expire during this break.

critical actions: - OAUTH_GRANT - CODE_TO_TOKEN (already seperate) - VERIFY_EMAIL - RECOVER_PASSWORD - UPDATE_PROFILE - CONFIGURE_TOTP - UPDATE_PASSWORD non-critical actions: - AUTHENTICATE - SOCIAL_CALLBACK > Am 30.01.2015 um 14:25 schrieb Stian Thorgersen <stian(a)redhat.com&gt;: > > What groups would you propose? > > ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Michael Gerber" <gerbermichi(a)me.com&gt; >> To: "Stian Thorgersen" <stian(a)redhat.com&gt; >> Cc: "keycloak dev" <keycloak-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; >> Sent: Monday, 26 January, 2015 4:23:49 PM >> Subject: Re: [keycloak-dev] Looking for a workaround... >> >>> ----- Original Message ----- >>>> From: "Michael Gerber" <gerbermichi(a)me.com&gt; >>>> To: "Stian Thorgersen" <stian(a)redhat.com&gt; >>>> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 2:10:59 PM >>>> Subject: Re: [keycloak-dev] Looking for a workaround... >>>> ----- Original Message ----- >>>> From: "Michael Gerber" <gerbermichi(a)me.com&gt; >>>> To: keycloak-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >>>> >>>> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 1:37:53 PM >>>> Subject: [keycloak-dev] Looking for a workaround... >>>> Hi all, >>>> I receive a lot of bug reports from our test team because of the >>>> following >>>> two issues: >>>> - Reset password leads to 400 Bad Request ( >>>> https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-1014 ) >>>> This is a tricky one - we can't ignore the state variable as that would >>>> make >>>> it vulnerable. >>>> We could probably come up with an alternative way to generate and verify >>>> state variable though.
