Hi, we are using version 2.17 with okta saml  
opensearch\_security.auth.type: ‘saml’  
opensearch\_security.cookie.secure: true  
opensearch\_security.cookie.ttl: 86400000  
opensearch\_security.session.ttl: 86400000  
opensearch\_security.session.keepalive: false

we have those vars but still you need to login after a while  
any ideas?

Hi @taltsafrir,

Have you tried setting `opensearch_security.session.keepalive` to `true`?

thank you, I set it to true but still have the issue  
I think it’s because we are using opensearch version 2.16 with opensearch dashboards version 2.8

@taltsafrir, have you had a chance to bring your Dashboards to the same version as your OpenSearch?
