Description nijin ashok 2015-07-10 18:23:47 UTC
Description of problem:

When the rhev-m is idle for a day, an authentication requires screen is shown with dialogue "The site says: RESTAPI"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEV-M 3.5.3

How reproducible:

Always in customer environment

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Keep the rhev-m idle for a day in the "hosts" tab
2. In the next day we can see the popup with message "The site says: RESTAPI"
3.

Actual results:

It shows authentication pop up with dialogue "The site says: RESTAPI"

Expected results:

Vojtech - is that related to the UI plugin mechanism?

Yes, it seems so.

The following symptoms:

"
Expected results:

Actual results:

"

might indicate the issue we had when REST session heartbeat (UI plugin infra) prevented WebAdmin from logging out due to user inactivity.

The likely scenario is that REST HttpSession is kept alive by UI plugin infra's heartbeat while Engine (logical) user session expires, at which point any REST request causes the browser auth popup.

@nijin can you please confirm above? When you leave WebAdmin idle for a long time, does it still show the main UI (and not the login screen)? Anything interesting in Engine logs?

@nijin - a question for you in comment #4. 

this is strange, as we fixed everything around this issue in [1]. 
first of all - need to make sure that UI will automatically log out when standing on the Hosts main tab (the GUI shouldn't have remained logged after a day of being idle).
