Re: Question on authentication?

Hi Tim,

I imagine that for this particular technique the user does not know that
the session has timed out until they attempt to submit something after the
time out. Warning a user that a timeout is about to occur is another
technique. Perhaps we can reference it from this one - would that address
your concern?

For "tests", how would the user always know that the session has timed out
for them, and that
the user is not currently authenticated?  Would the user always be able to
tell unambiguously
whether or not they are in the "authenticated" or "non-authenticated" state

with respect to a
session?

Thanks and best wishes
