If that is the only change you made it is still not solved either, your 
sessions will never end.

You need *one* session. You get to pick active or passive:

* Active has specific ACLs for LOGIN/LOGOUT/test.
  - for when the clicked URL just *has* to be the specific one.

* Passive has only one ACL for atomic test+login.
  - for when either click OR refresh OR any other page fetch is enough 
to continue.
  - every test of the ACL updates the session timestamp not to expire.
