Title: Is there any way to display login screen on timeout automatically
Post by: alex.kolaric on February 02, 2009, 05:00:58 AM

Hi,

Is there any way to display login screen on timeout automatically on client side, even when user doesn't click on some page control. Basically what I need is to show login form in client browser as soon as timeout occurs.

thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex, I do that now using javascript and a timer. When it expires, it forces the location to the login page. Also shows the countdown in a span on all my pages when logged in.

Do a search for "countdown javascript".

Hi Alberto,

Since you first posted this I thought it would be a great idea to let the user know when the system will automatically log him out if he does not keep on working.

Below is the script that I found and then modified to work for me.
I use this one once the user has logged in and another one if he is not logged in.

I hope this helps you.
