Question

I need to be able to auto logout users after 15 minutes of inactivity. Is there a plugin that can do that? I also like for the users to get a message telling them that they will be logged out in 5 minutes. The users should be presented with the login page once they are logout automatically.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

sorry, no, there is nothing like that yet - it should be posible to write a plugin in combination with the TemplateLogin system though.

I might misunderstand Zakai's question, but it looks like TWiki does what Zakai needs, e.g. after some time the user needs to login again. See behaviour of Bugs:WebHome.

"After some time the user need to log in again" because the interval between now and the time in the cookie recording the last access exceed $TWiki::cfg{Sessions}{ExpireAfter} is NOT the same as being thrown forcibly to the login screen while sitting idle for a timeout period.

The latter will require some javascript.

Anton: correct and a little rest plugin handler - but neat idea!
