Force couch_replicator_auth_session plugin to refresh the session periodically. Normally it is not needed as the session would be refreshed when requests start failing with a 401 (authentication) or 403 (authorization) errors. In some cases when anonymous writes are allowed to the database and a VDU function is used to forbid writes based on the authenticated in username, requests with an expired session cookie will not fail with a 401 and the session will not be refreshed. When set, the value should be less than the minimum session timeout for any of the replication endpoints. For example, for CouchDB, the session timeout is 600 by default so the value would be set to something like 550.
