Title: How to really time out
Post by: Mike Grigsby on August 09, 2008, 07:02:38 PM

I've noticed that if I let a screen sit long enough that the app times out, that you can still click on a link in that procedure and the system will go to it, even though it knows you've timed out because the menu bar disappears. Is there a way to make it so once you time out, you truly go to the start again, like a login window?

Hi Mike,

You're thinking of your app as a Program - and it's not a program it's a web site.

When you click on a link in the browser, that request is passed to the site.

All the timeout has done is delete your session. so effectively when you click on a link you are starting a new session.

Browses, Forms, Menus and so on can all be set to "require login". If you go to one of these and you need to login, then you'll be redirected to the login page. So make sure that what you _need_ to be logged in for, is set to be "require login". You can set this on the procedure itself, or on the template settings for the Web Handler.

Cheers
