SDL Tridion Sites 9.0/9.1 - Frequent SAML token restoration leads to inconvenient experiences when content editing in Content Manager Explorer
000011500|8/4/2020 2:35 AM
Scope/Environment
SDL Tridion Sites
Symptoms/Context
When SSO (Single Sign On) with SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0) has been set up for the Content Manager Explorer, you may observe undesired behaviour such as every 10 minutes, a browser window pops up in and closes again. This is due to the SAML assertion token expiring and the SDL session cookie set to expire at the same time.
Resolution
Solution: Deploy the hotfix CM_9.0.0.16485 for Sites 9.0 and CM_9.1.0.16485 for Sites 9.1.
This hotfix introduces a configurable SAML session lifetime.
