Description
Hi,
we are using user_saml and it works very well, thank you for the great work!
I have a question regarding the need of reauthentication on the desktop client. We examined that users have to reauthenticate after reboot/restart of the client. I digged in the code and found "something" in /appinfo/app.php which seems to force the reauthentication. And now im wondering if it would be possible to disable this reauthentication as long as the session is still valid?
Thanks a lot

Research direction
Start by reading appinfo/app.php, the only code location mentioned, and trace how it triggers reauthentication for the desktop client after reboot or restart. Clarify whether a still-valid session can be retained, then verify that users no longer need to authenticate again while expired sessions still require authentication.
