Proactively invalidate inactive sessions [New in Security Center 1.3 and updated in 1.5 and 2.0]
The glide.active.session.timeout.invalidate.session property controls if a timeout session is proactively invalidated before the Tomcat server.
When glide.active.session.timeout.invalidate.session is not set to true, there can be a small interval of time where a timed out session is not invalidated (60 or more seconds depending on queue size). If a session is hijacked, an attacker may be able to use a session during this small period of time. To remediate this security risk, set glide.active.session.timeout.invalidate.session to true.
