xpack.security.sessionTimeout needs to handle tab time-outs better.

Original comment by @bhavyarm:

Kibana version: 6.0

Elasticsearch version: 6.0

Server OS version: darwin_x86_64

Browser version: chrome latest

Browser OS version: OS X

Original Kibana install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): from downloads

Original X-Pack install method (e.g. by name, offline install, from source, etc.): from downloads

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior: xpack.security.sessionTimeout applies to the whole browser. So if the user has multiple Kibana tabs open - user gets logged out all tabs when the earliest tab hits the session timeout.

Original comment by @CamiloSierraH:

i have this issue too, and is really difficult to work every day with Kibana, because even if you have only one tab, you are disconnected after timeout duration even if you are working in Dev tools.

Original comment by @AlonaNadler:

Another customer reported that even when working on a single tab Kibana ends the session,

I have given the Session logout in .yml file as 10 min.
Ideally, it should log me out after 10 minutes of Inactive period (idle time).
But it is logging me out after 10 minutes if I'm active and working on kibana.

Original comment by @kobelb:

@AlonaNadler we've been unable to reproduce this behavior using a single tab, it'd be quite helpful to capture a HAR of their network activity when this is occurring.

@jportner do you happen to know if this issue is resolved with your recent changes?

[jportner]

Yes, this was resolved by #49855 starting in Kibana 7.6.
