Something I overlooked and just relearned is that IBM added a few features to Automated Logout during their "Using open source software" series:

We added several features to the Automated Logout module, including:

  • Set up any database fields and variables needed to enable the client-side script.
  • Configuring a client side script to perform the autologout logic.
  • Passing the server-side variables to the client side script.
  • Insert JavaScript that times user inactivity, alerts the user a certain amount of time before the auto logout, and tells the server to log the user out of their session.
  • If a user is automatically logged out, redirect that user to their previous location in the Web site when they log back in.

Is anyone interested in integrating these features?

Cool, but why didn't they submit a feature patch?

I'll have a look when I get a chance (which will probably be in two months time!). If anyone else wants to create a patch for review in the meantime feel free! thx

No patch, but here is the article:

I just read the link above and noticed the url was already included. Ooops:)

Looks like they included all of their code, just no patch.

The only feature that I think is in-scope might be the redirect to the main page at logout.
