Issue
- Activity within an application found on a Liferay embedded page does not count as activity with regard to a Liferay session, so it does not maintain the user session.
- As a result, the user is session expires after the appropriate timeout period
Environment
- Quarterly Release
- Liferay DXP 7.4
Resolution
- The iframes are isolated from the page on which they are placed. This is the intended design of how they should work.
- Because of this, actions inside the iframe (i.e. embedded on the page) won't extend the session of the broader page that the iframe is placed on
- The reason this behavior is intended is that modifying this configuration can lead to CSRF security problems.
