In my specific case: A WCF connection is established, but the only method with "IsInitiating=true" (the login method) is never called. What happens?

In case the connection is closed due to inactivity after some time: Which setting configures this timeout? Is there still a way for a client to keep the connection alive?

Reason for this question: I'm considering the above case as a possible security hole. Imagine many clients connecting to a server without logging in thus preventing other clients from connecting due to bandwidth problems or port shortage or lack of processing power or ...

Am I dreaming, or is this an actual issue?
