    Description

      After logging in to XWiki, and clicking on the "Remember me on this computer" checkbox, I am able to successfully administer and edit pages in my XWiki instance.

      I can close my browser, reopen it, and continue using the site as my logged in user.

      If I leave my browser closed (and probably if I just don't use the site) for a few days, then when I return to use the site, I am no longer logged in.

      My cookies after initial login look something like this (keys changed to protect the guilty):

      domain something path something else expires name value
      xwiki.example.com FALSE / FALSE Fri, 30 May 2008 08:19:56 GMT style default

      After waiting a few days and then connecting to site, but not doing ANYTHING

      domain something path something else expires name value
      xwiki.example.com FALSE / FALSE Fri, 30 May 2008 08:19:56 GMT style default
      xwiki.example.com FALSE / FALSE Sat, 25 Mar 2017 12:11:17 GMT language en

      I am able to reauthenticate successfully at this point.
