6. Use the available configuration options to specify maximum thresholds for each aspect of user sessions, including the following:

• Time limits for idle browser sessions and single sign on (SSO) tokens

• Lifespans for OpenID access tokens

• Time limits for login-related actions, such as resetting a forgotten password
