Proposed Title of Feature Request
Implement a visual countdown timer for idle sessions in the OpenShift Console.
Nature and Description
The request is to add a popup to the OpenShift web console that appears a short time before a user's session is set to expire due to inactivity. This popup would display a countdown timer and provide an option to reset the timer to avoid an abrupt logout. This prevents accidental logouts and allows users to easily extend their sessions, improving the overall user experience.
Business Requirements
This feature is needed for the following reasons:
Security & Compliance: It helps users adhere to mandatory security policies that require idle session timeouts without disrupting their workflow.
Operational Efficiency: It saves time and prevents frustration by eliminating the need for users to re-authenticate after being unexpectedly logged out.
User Experience: It provides a clear, actionable warning before a session expires, which is a significant improvement over the current behavior.
Affected Packages or Components
The core components affected would be the OpenShift Console UI and the session management logic.
