Bug Description

When the desktop app is idle for some time the session expires even when the server is configured as

# Default validity is 7 days (604800000 ms) in ms
REFRESH_TOKEN_VALIDITY=604800000
# Default validity is 1 day (86400000 ms) in ms
ACCESS_TOKEN_VALIDITY=86400000

I'm assuming this not only has to do with being idle because the webapp also expires the session (I always have to re-login in web when desktop app asks to login) so I have to request for the mail, click the link in mail, then re-load the dekstop login page, every single day, even sometimes twice or three times on the same day.
