Had a member forget to logout on a public computer and someone else used there credentials to cause a lot of havoc. Is there a way to time out? Or have it auto logout when you close the browser?
Thanks. |

Yes, intCookieDuration in config.asp is the number of days the cookie will remain on a user's machine. And the user will be automatically logged out if they uncheck the remember password checkbox when logging in.

So if you set that for 0, would the cookie expire right away? I'm not planning on doing this, I'm just curious how the cookie expiration works.

| Yes it should then expire immediately (which would actually cause a few problems) |

what about having the remember password check box unchecked by default?
Secondly if you set the cookie experation for say 15 min and you are on the site for longer than that will it ask for you to relogin after the 15 min? |

I'm interested in it too. But from what i can understand i think thta is only possible to set days and not hours or minute. So the minimum period that is possible to set i 1 day
is it correct?? |

Fastrax,
In inc_header look for this code:" <input type=""checkbox"" name=""SavePassWord"" value=""true"" tabindex=""-1"" CHECKED><b> Save Password</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine and change it to this:" <input type=""checkbox"" name=""SavePassWord"" value=""true"" tabindex=""-1""><b> Save Password</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine quote:

I take it that by removing the CHECKED, it would have to set the check to not be there. At least then they have to click it to keep them logged in.
I was on the understanding that the person had to end their session on the Public Internet access point anyway, so that would clear the forum then there was no need for the Auto Logout and stuff.
When I was working at a bank for their Internet banking support team, there was an Auto Logout script after a certian ammount of inactivity, it would end the users session, but this required a DLL to be loaded on the server.
I hope that all makes sense and helps you out.

OK, I wasn't going to do that, I was just curious. I'm not real familiar with how cookies work.

Hmmm didn't work, not sure if it was because I was over tired or my forum is so over modded that I missed somthing... I have a portal mod and integration installed and other such stuff. I am intrigued by the auto logout script though. Just wonder if it's over kill or not. hehe
Just to let you know. I have the following mods installed. I suspect that a couple of them probably causes the above fix not to work as predicted.
