Issue 766: sign-out and sign-in required every day
Status:  WontFix

Closed:  Nov 2010
Reported by VenuByra...@gmail.com, Oct 28, 2010
Affected Version: 2.1.5

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. leave gerrit a day, without logging out 
2. when you try to access, nothing works.
3. you have to sign out first and sign in again to access it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
gerrit should allow user to enter his credentials once and give a provision to remember it till he logs out at least. In the worst case scenario, at least it should show sign in window instead of keeping quite with sign out option on the top, as if the user is still logged in.

Please provide any additional information below.

As far as I know the default timeout for web sessions is 12 hours. You may increase this timeout in etc/gerrit.config by setting the maxAge parameter for the web_sessions cache [1], e.g. for 1 week:

[cache "web_sessions"]
	maxAge = 1 w

Yup, default is 12 hours.  You can adjust it
to longer in the configuration as suggested
above by Edwin.
