Session Timeout Enhancement

Session Timeout Enhancements

To simplify the license availability of SummitAI, when the application's browser or browser tabs are closed abruptly without logging out, then currently user logout happens only based on the Session timeout is configured.

Since the application logout was dependent on the session timeout, a duplicate pop-up was displayed for End-users. If the user login before session timeout, for the Analysts, the license was occupied till the session timeout.

Now, based on the following configuration, the system will log out the users as soon as they close the browser (in less than 5 mins).
