Open Stack

Thanks Paul!

Since the access to Horizon is kicked out after for sure less than 60
minutes, I assume indeed that it is likely a token which becomes
invalid before the session times out.
Now the real question is: is there a way to configure the time
interval by which a token becomes invalid?
