I read docs today http://keycloak.github.io/docs/userguide/keycloak-server/html/timeouts.ht... and my understanding is that user should keep logged in after either browser restart or session expiration. My tests shows that after session expiration (set to 1 min) I have to log in again.

The default behavior should be that SSO Idle timeout is taken into account, but there should be an realm option to ignore it and only rely on SSO Max lifespan. This is also for 2.x.
