Change session duration from an absolute value to an inactivity time based duration #2450

Feature Description

What is happening?

Currently the session expires after a set time duration, defaulting to 8 hours. When the timer runs out, the user will unceremoniously get logged out, regardless of activity.

What you expect to happen?

If there is user activity, the logout timer resets. The session expires after a set duration during which no user activity is detected.

What problems would this new feature solve?

With the current setup, the session may sit there for hours while there is no user activity, and then log a user out even if they are in the middle of something.
It would make more sense for the Session Timeout setting to indicate the required set duration of user inactivity after which the session is terminated.
