Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When connected to an OpenID Connect provider with short-lived tokens, the user needs to click on the "Continue to SSO" button every time its token expires. This could become disruptive from time to time.
Describe the solution you'd like
Make use of refresh tokens to renew the token without interrupting the user.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, the UI could automatically redirect the user to SSO page upon receiving an expired token, in which case the user will get redirected back to the UI with the new token.

Research direction
