Problem Statement

This is a huge usability problem for heavy users of the system. As a user, I want to login to dotCMS, click "remember me" and stay logged in. Instead, even with remember me clicked, I get logged out after 30m of inactivity - this happens whether I click remember me or not.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Login to dotCMS with Remember Me checked
2. Browse dotCMS backend for a sec
3. Go to the dev tools, you will see two cookies JSESSIONID and rme. Delete the JSESSIONID cookie but leave the rme - this simulates expiring your session.
4. Click anywhere in dotCMS and you will be logged out.

Acceptance Criteria

If I click "Remember Me" I want my login to be remembered. I do not want to have to login for the next 2 weeks.

Additionally, we should have a setting in SAML called "extendedLogin" which can be to an int which would add the remember me cookie to the user so they do not have to saml auth every 30m.

dotCMS Version

Not sure when this started but at least 22.x-25.02+
