Hello All,

Curious if anyone has done this with any success as I do not want to re-invent the wheel. I want to implement a way to logout a user after a set time regardless of inactivity. Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank

Create a custom session property called `UserLoginTime`. When the user logs in or the logged in user changes, shove the current timestamp into the property.

Have a session timer script that checks if A) Someone is logged in and B) the difference between the login time and current time is beyond your decided limit, and call `system.perspective.logout()` if both are true.
