Change page after inactivity timeout to dedicated page for guest users

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When guest users time out due to inactivity, then they land on the main login page which they cannot use to get back.

Describe the solution you'd like Redirect them back to the guest link or a good bye page.

So what happens here is this:

  • the logout timer is initialized with the time it takes the session on the backend to time out
  • once the timer has expired, all it does is re-load the page - because the session has then expired, it takes the user to the login page. At this point, the system has no knowledge anymore that the user was originally a guest user and which guest page the had originally used to enter

That means to fix this issue, the auto-logout would need to be re-designed.
