Force Logout after inactivity?
Joe, IE tabs: Microsoft have changed the way in which IE handles sessions in various versions of Window, so you can't rely on a session remaining when a tab is closed (I think that's true for Windows 7). The logout problem was previously discussed on ARSlist and I recall pointing out that the best solution would be that when a browser detects a session has been killed in the Java webserver, they are prompted for login credentials (if not using SSO Plugin) and allowed to continue work. I'd expect some kind of dialog to appear informing them the session has timed out and asking them if they want to continue where they left off or quit the application.

Re: Force Logout after inactivity?
Joel, Whatever method you use to get your timing, PERFORM-ACTION-APPLICATION-EXIT will actually logout and not just close windows.. Closing windows would not logout, especially if you are using Windows Explorer with tabs or one of the other browsers with tabs.. the action stated above will.. This is available since version 5.5 if I am not mistaken...

Since 7.6.04 users will be on the WEB you can do this in the MT configurations. I know your customer are not on 7.6.04 and do not plan on upgrading. I thought I would try Long time no see. -Original Message- From: Joel Sender To: arslist Sent: Thu, Apr 26, 2012 5:00 pm Subject: Force Logout after inactivity? ** Anyone know a way to end an ARS session after a period of inactivity?
