Description
Go to a service and press the login button. Be redirected to SURFconext's WAYF. Do not do anything. Wait for time t where t > EB session length. Then click something. Session lost error.
Redesign the Discovery screen in such a way that it's clear to the user that they need to act within a reasonable time (<5min), and disable the interaction/show a pre-emptive error when the screen has timed out.

Research direction
Reproduce the login flow through SURFconext's WAYF, wait beyond the EB session length, and inspect the Discovery screen and session-timeout handling. The work is done when the screen communicates the less-than-five-minute limit and disables interaction or shows a pre-emptive error instead of exposing a session-lost error.
