Hello Rami,

I've seen in the docs that there is a Django Session Timeout setting for 
Horizon;

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/topics/settings.html#session-timeout

It says there the default is 3600 seconds (60 minutes), but I've often 
had a Horizon session time out before that. Perhaps because the token 
becomes invalid before the session times out?

Kind regards,
Paul Browne
