captive portal idletimeout in 25.1.12 works like a hard timeout

After updating to 25.1.12 captive portal seems to be treating the idle timeout like a hard timeout.
Sessions drop after 15 minutes which I have defined in the idle timeout setting.  Hard timeout is 0 (disabled).

Stephan tried to reproduce this but no luck. If you have more data to reproduce that would be appreciated.

For context, I tested on 25.7 but nothing has changed on the Captive Portal side between these two versions.

Hmm, ok.  That's good to know.  I'll upgrade it to 25.7 to see if it resolves the session timeout.
I did have zenarmor previously installed but removed it.  I noticed the crash indicator about being unable to open mongodb.so after updating to 25.1.12.  Maybe that has something to do with it?

I removed the php82-pecl-mongodb package via cli and the crash indicator went away.

Different issue. I also think what Stephan meant is that 25.1.12 and 25.7 have the same CP code so your issue will likely persist.

Yes, understood.
I was just wondering if the old zenarmour packages interfered with the update in anyway.
I had just gone from from 24.7 to 25.1 then to 25.1.11 which worked fine and then a couple of days later 25.1.12 came out which seemed to break CP. It had been a while since I upgraded this system.
I had removed ZenA prior to upgrading to 25.1.
Thanks for testing and all your hard work.

Well let me know if the issue persists on 25.7, and if so, how you tested it. Setting the idle timeout to 1 minute and leaving a ping running on the client should show quick enough if there is a problem.
