Kibana: Idle sessions never expire

Created on 7 Feb 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: elastic/kibana

Kibana version: 7.x / master

Describe the bug: Idle sessions don't expire. It appears that every time the /internal/security/session API is called to check the session expiration, it renews the session.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Kibana with xpack.security.session.idleTimeout: "75s"
  2. Observe the calls to the /internal/security/session API, and the responses each have an increasing idleTimeoutExpiration property.
  3. Observe that the user's session never expires.

Expected behavior: The user's session should expire after the specified time period of inactivity.

Looks like the Kibana Platform changed how it handles exposing system requests to plugins. Tested and verified that this issue started after #53734 was merged.

Will submit a PR to fix shortly.
