[TYPO3-dev] Logout time on FE

[Dan Osipov]

I'm trying to increase the time the user is logged in to the FE.

I've set $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['lifetime'] = '604800'; so the user 
"should" be logged in for a week. This doesn't seem to happen - usually 
they're logged out next day.

There is a variable $auth_timeout_field in tslib_feuserauth that is set 
to 6000, and doesn't seem to be overridden anywhere. Is that the real 
session lifetime, and is my setting ignored?

What am I missing?
