##### SUMMARY
I would like to have a "counter" in the UI showing the time until the current session is closed and the user needs to authenticate again. In addition a button to "refresh" the session / restart the session time-out would be quite convenient.
For positioning i would suggest to place this in the top menue right beside the username and button for changeing the language-settings

Research direction
The issue identifies the CloudStack GUI and the top menu as the intended area. Start by tracing how the GUI tracks authentication sessions and how the username and language controls are rendered. Done means the UI shows remaining session time and provides a working way to refresh the session.
