.

5

Update the Identity Server.

6

Make sure the Access Gateway has two protected resources (PR1 and PR2). Create them if 
necessary.

7

Assign authentication contract C1 to protected resource PR1.

8

Assign authentication contract C2 to protected resource PR2.

9

Update the Access Gateway.

10

Access a page on protected resource PR1 from a client browser. 
You should be prompted to authenticate.

11

Access a page on protected resource PR2 with the same browser session. 
You should be prompted to authenticate again. Make sure to use the same user for both logins.

12

Refresh the page on protected resource PR2 at least once a minute over a time period greater 
than 5 minutes.

13

Go back to the page on protected resource PR1. 
Access should still be allowed. The user has not been inactive, so the activity has kept the 
session to PR1 active.

14

Access the page on protected resource PR2 again.

15

Let the browser sit idle for a time period greater than 5 minutes but less than 10 minutes.

16

Refresh the page on protected resource PR2. 
The page should refresh without prompting you to authenticate.

17

Access the page on protected resource P1. 
You should be prompted to authenticate again. You have been idle longer than the contract’s 
timeout limit.

2.1.4  Test Results

Activity on a protected resource with the same realm as other protected resources prevents 
authentication timeout on the other protected resources.

Each protected resource can have a different authentication timeout.

2.1.5  Troubleshooting Tips

Š

An authentication contract with an empty realm or a realm of 

Any

 allows activity from any 

protected resource to prevent a timeout on a protected resource that uses that contract.
