As a security feature, MantisHub will ask for re-authentication when a user attempts to access administration settings (Manage) or personal settings (My Account). By default re-authentication is triggered if user hasn't explicitly signed in (provided credentials) within the last 5 minutes.
Accessing regular MantisHub pages for managing issues doesn't trigger such re-authentication.
It is possible to change the timeout setting or turn off re-authentication altogether via a configuration option. Just head to Manage - Manage Configuration - Configuration Report and create a new configuration option as below:
1. To enable or disable re-authentication:
Username: All Users
Projects: All Projects
Configuration Option: reauthentication
Type: integer
Value: 0 - to disable
1 - to enable
2. To adjust re-authentication timeout duration:
Username: All Users
Projects: All Projects
Configuration Option: reauthentication_expiry
Type: integer
Value: <time in seconds - default setting is 300>
And your done! Now you can go listen to a podcast :)
