If a user clicks "For this session only" and then closes the browser, the certificate that's in the browser is not deleted and in fact is still valid for up to one hour.

A proposed solution is to create single-use certs when the user requests an ephemeral session:

  1. create a cert & get it signed by the IdP
  2. use the cert to create an assertion with the IdP
  3. delete the cert

This is related to issue #3769.

I thought there was a bug open about this already, but I can't find it.
