I have read several posts regarding situations where a user might log into an
SSO-enabled application (webappA) that has an inactivity timeout that is
less than the SSO session timeout. When the application session expires, one
of the recommendations I've seen for forcing the user to re-enter their
credentials is to set the renew=true parameters. However, I'm not quite
certain how that would work:

Setting those parameters unconditionally means we no longer have single
sign-on, correct? If the user first accesses another SSO-enabled application
(webappB), then navigates to webappA, the renew=true parameters configured
for logging into webapp A would force the user to re-authenticate. So that
would defeat the purpose of having single sign-on.

Unless the idea was to set those parameters only when we know the
application session has timed out? How could that be done?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
