HAProxy must set an inactive timeout on sessions.
Description
Discussion Text
Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By closing sessions after a set period of inactivity, the web server can make certain that those sessions that are not closed through the user logging out of an application are eventually closed.
Acceptable values are "5" minutes for high-value applications, "10" minutes for medium-value applications, and "20" minutes for low-value applications.
HAProxy provides an appsession parameter, which will invalidate an inactive cookie after a configurable amount of time.
