- 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.
