[keycloak-user] How to implement long user sso sessions with reauthentication for important actions?

[Vlastimil Elias]

Thanks for quick reply Stian.

I'm going to create JIRAs for all these things. I can volunter to
implement some parts of this.

For the last one, it should be probably cool to have "reauthenticate
timeout" setting available in client section for every client (not only
internal admin console and account management). It should allow simple
implementation of "long user sso session" scheme even in environments
where some clients can't be updated to set max_age on protocol level.
