Troubleshooting: Skipping re-login functionality for remote store

On session timeout, the site user is redirected to the original URL instead of ReLogonFormView.

Problem

The site user is prompted to re-login on session timeout, but with the credentialsAccepted flag, the request should be fulfilled without prompting the site user to re-login.

Affected Versions: WebSphere Commerce Version 7 and later.

Solution

If the original URL does not require authentication on session timeout, a flag called skipReLogon is introduced to control whether to skip the reLogonForm.

When the flag is enabled:

Only for protected pages such as My Account, the user is redirected to the Session Timed Out page.
If the site user is browsing any category, the site user is logged out on session timeout. In this case, the user stays on the same page and is not redirected to the Session Timed Out page.
