My own testing shows the same ;-(   Futhermore, it seems to behave
like with a persistent cookie: even closing the browser and restarting
it keeps the athentication level...

What I would expect is the behaviour of a non persistent cookie with
limited lifetime, thus expiring when closing the browser or after the
specified lifetime.

Any idea how to make an inactivity timeout that actually works ;-) ?

Thank you in anticipation.
