InactivityTimeout

Questions answered by this recipe

• How to force users to login again if they remained inactive too long ?

Description

To use this recipe, download InactivityTimeout.phpΔ, copy it into the cookbook/ directory, and add the following line to a local customization file:

    $InactivityTimeout = <your value in seconds>;  
    include_once('cookbook/InactivityTimeout.php');

The default timeout is 600 seconds.

PHP options (usually set in php.ini) like 'session.gc_maxlifetime' can cause the sessions to expire before $InactivityTimeout seconds. This recipe only makes sure no authenticated user will remain authenticated longer than $InactivityTimeout, not that he will allways remain authenticated $InactivityTimeout seconds.
