I’m building a Computer based test app. Everything works fine but I’m worried about the app logging users ou if they are idle for 3hrs .
I’m using Jquery for the questions multi step . So they are not reloading the pages until they submit .
How do I keep the login session active for 3hrs or more . If possible never time out login session

You may simply use Session keep alive interval.

These are my confiurations

session.gc_maxlifetime : 1440 (24mins)

session.cookie_lifetime (0)
both default on the server.

session keep alive : 300

I think this shoul work well . Currently testing . Thansks
