intermediateSession Management: Timeout, Concurrency & Fixation
What is the difference between session timeout and concurrent session control?
Session timeout invalidates a session automatically after a period of INACTIVITY, regardless of how many sessions exist. Concurrent session control limits how many ACTIVE sessions a single user can have at once, regardless of how recently each was used — the two are independent settings addressing different risks (idle abandoned sessions vs. simultaneous multi-device logins).
