Hi Joe,

Is there a time-out functionality for logged-in users?  Say after 30 minutes to an hour of inactivity, the portal logs them out?

Thanks,

Thanks!  That worked.

For the benefit of other users, I also did some client-side timeout functionality by inserting the following Javascript code in the master page or layout.Master file:

<%
   if (SiteUtils.GetCurrentSiteUser() != null) {
%>
      <script type="text/javascript">
          var timeout = <%= Session.Timeout * 60000 %>;
          var logoff = "<%= ResolveUrl("~/Logoff.aspx") %>";
          window.setTimeout('window.location=logoff ', timeout);
      </script>
<%
}
%>

Session.Timeout is in minutes, so it has to be converted into milliseconds (Javascript timeout is in milliseconds).  The above code snippet will only insert the Javascript code onto the page if a user is authenticated.  The Javascript redirects the browser to the logoff page after a period of inactivity as set by the timeout value.

This method is not really sexy, but works.

Hi Joe,

Yes, you are right.  Thanks for warning about the side-effects.  That way, developers will be fully informed when deciding to use this or not.

Cheers,
