I installed the automatic logout module, but it is not enforcing the logouts. Is it possible there is a module conflict? I don't see anything in the log entries screen.

We also have Login toboggan, login destination, tax access and other modules running on drupal 5.1.

Any ideas on why this isn't working?

When an auto-logout occurs you shoudl see "automatic logout activated" and "Session closed for %name" (%name will be the name of the user) in your logs. If you don't see that then it's not activating.

I can't see how another module is conflicting unless that has some sort or "auto-login" feature but without the above logs it seems it's just not kicking in. I susspect you have a "policy setup" problem or the module is just not enabled (it has it's own enable switch in it's config area).

Please check those settings.

the enable box is checked in the module settings.

no auto logouts are shown in the logs. I'm not sure what you mean by "policy setup" - how would this affect the auto log out module?

Thanks

The "policy" is important. Depending on how it's setup users in certain roles won't be logged out automatically. Read the policy instructions. Remember, if a role is defined to be excluded from auto-loggout then that takes precidence over the include policy.

Also, to prevent loosing work, if a form is submitted outside the allotted time, a logout won't occur then either.

I was trying to auto logout a role called "sales", but also needed to enforce auto logouts for "authenticated users".

Thanks for the tip
