LDEV-4901 Rewrite session invalidation mechanism On WildFly 8 session invalidation mechanism had some bugs. Marek introduced a workaround in LDEV-3413. The mechanism was adjusted in LDEV-4293, especially in this commit https://code.lamsfoundation.org/fisheye/changelog/lams-github?cs=131ce42e64069f574a2a4a9bc1e5c4be4918e5bb Newer WildFly versions do not seem to have this bug. A part of workaround was removed in LDEV-4696, but invalidation mechanism stayed as if the bugs were still present. The mechanism introduced the problem with timeouts. Now that the bugs seems to be gone, the invalidation mechanism was rewritten to a more straightforward version which should have been used from the start.
It is worth keeping in mind that when one user session is present and another is being created (another browser, integration call, sysadmin's LoginAs feature), then user gets authenticated, then old session gets invalidated and the user gets authenticated AGAIN by WildFly using cached credentials. Caching is so useful that we can not turn it off. It means that, though, we need to keep login token generated by LoginRequestServlet for longer than just first authentication, as we get authentication call twice. Now we keep it until it is timed out.
