IIUC, the first config value (UserSessionTimeOutInterval) represents the delay between Engine startup and first "cleanExpiredUsersSessions" job execution. The second config value (UserSessionTimeOutInvalidationInterval) is the delay between subsequent executions of this job. This is why I thought it should be min() out of these two; user could open WebAdmin right after Engine startup or anytime after that.

Both config values have validValues=-1,1..100000 so -1 could disable first (UserSessionTimeOutInterval) or subsequent (UserSessionTimeOutInvalidationInterval) job execution. I'm still confused why we have two values, though..
