In R&E circles, session lifetimes tend to align with the lifetime of a user’s Kerberos ticket-getting-ticket (for those that used or still use Kerberos). I think that is 10 hours, to cover a normal work day with padding built in. I don’t know that that is what libraries want, but it’s what most R&E IdPs tend to offer.

Dear all,

 

I have another question which I posted on another thread earlier...

 

From the library's perspective, what is a reasonable time for an SP to maintain a session for a user?

 

It would have been possible for Elsevier to maintain a session for any lenght of time - but is that desirable by the libraries? Should we confirm with the library that a user is still affiliated with it whenever a user wants to access the service (such as ScienceDirect)? Or every day? Every week? Every month? Every 6 months?

 

Thanks,

Meshna
