When you enable Single Sign-On (SSO) on your AWS account (using Microsoft ADFS), by default the user session duration is set to last for 60 minutes. You can increase it up to 12 hours. I am taking the steps below on ADFS 2.0 but the same procedure applies to ADFS 3.0:
1- Open the ADFS -> Trust Relationships -> Relying Party Trusts
2- Right click the Amazon Web Services trust -> click Edit Claim Rules
3- Click Add Rule
4- Click Send Claims Using a Custom Rule
5- Enter the following values:
Claim rule name: SessionDuration
Custom rule:
=> issue(Type = "https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/SessionDuration", Value = "28800");
The rule above configures the session duration to be 8 hours (28,800 Seconds).
6- Click Finish and Click Ok.
