@chilly-king-10285 can I somehow change the redirect location for
session_refresh_required
or will it always redirect to the login page?

Based on the provided knowledge sources, there isn't a direct way to change the redirect location for the
session_refresh_required
error. However, there are some related concepts and workarounds that might be helpful: 1. For browser-based flows, when a
session_refresh_required
error occurs, the default behavior is to redirect to the login page. This is typically done to prompt the user to re-authenticate [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api). 2. You can initiate a session refresh by appending
?refresh=true
to the login flow URL. For example:
Copy code
https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/login/browser?refresh=true|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/login/browser?refresh=true>
This will prompt the user to re-authenticate, refreshing their session [Refresh sessions](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/refresh-extend-sessions). 3. If you need more control over the redirect behavior, you might consider handling the
session_refresh_required
error in your application logic. When you receive this error, you could redirect the user to a custom page or handle the refresh flow in a way that fits your application's needs. 4. For API clients (like AJAX requests), the behavior is different. The response contains the flow without a redirect, allowing you to handle it programmatically in your application [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api). 5. There's an option to configure default redirect URLs for various flows, including login. However, this doesn't specifically address the
session_refresh_required
scenario [HTTP redirection configuration](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/concepts/browser-redirect-flow-completion#redirection). It's important to note that the exact behavior might depend on your specific Ory configuration and the type of client (browser vs. API) you're using. If you need more precise control over this specific scenario, you might need to handle it at the application level rather than relying solely on Ory's built-in redirect mechanisms.
