KB0058 - PowerShell Universal Browser Times Out Before Session Timeout When Using OIDC

Affected Versions

- All Support Versions

Problem

Setting the session timeout in appsettings.json does not have an affect on how soon the user is logged out from their session. 

Root Cause

When using OpenID Connect, the -UseTokenLifetime parameter causes the ticket to time out based on the lifetime of the token provided by the authentication provider rather than the configured cookie session timeout. 

Workaround

Remove the -UseTokenLifetime parameter from New-PSUAuthenticationMethod or set it to false in appsettings.json to use the session timeout rather than the token timeout.
