We would like to force logout on Mobile clients after a specific period of inactivity and enforce new login process. Any one having performed this before.

You can use [system.util.getInactivitySeconds](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/system.util.getInactivitySeconds) in a timer event. Then call [system.security.logout](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/system.security.logout) when the inactivity seconds goes over your specific period.
