Error description

• SSO is enabled with an external security manager (ESM) for

  When using timeout.resume.session=false to display the session
  timeout screen, an infinite loop scenario occurs that only

  state will not be correctly reset for the ESM authentication
  flow.
  

Local fix

• Use timeout.resume.session=true to disable session timeout
  notification.
