Problem Description

We have Open WebUI configured against Okta for authentication. We have user reports similar to "I usually leave a browser tab up and on a couple of occasions I've typed in a message not realizing I had been logged out, and the chat just hangs until you refresh"

Desired Solution you'd like

Ideally, either refresh the token behind the scenes and preserve the user authentication. Alternatively, once the authentication token expires, redirect the user back to the login page.

Alternatives Considered
