Member	egarrison-wte - 8/5/2013 1:55:40 PM Admin Timout as a webpart When you are in the Admin (CMSDESK) on V.7 and leave it idle for a few minutes, you get a nice pop up to timeout and lockout the admin. I would like to extend this to a private logged in side on one of our sites. Is this a webpart I am missing or is there an easy way to get that functionality over to the member side of the site?

RE:Admin Timout as a webpart

Hello,

You can update the following values in your Web.config to extend the timeout:

<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes" cookieless="false" timeout="20" />

and/or

<forms loginUrl="CMSPages/logon.aspx" defaultUrl="Default.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" timeout="6000000" slidingExpiration="true" />

Please let me know if this doesn't help, there is another way to accomplish it but it's not ideal.

Thanks,
Sandro


Member	egarrison-wte - 8/6/2013 7:42:09 PM RE:Admin Timout as a webpart Not exactly what I was looking for. Here is the problem. This will do it for all sites. We have multiple clients on one instance. I can split the instance, but that would be a pain. I was looking for the object that does the "Your screen was locked due to long period of inactivity. Please enter your password to unlock it again."


Member	kentico_sandroj - 8/6/2013 9:47:54 PM RE:Admin Timout as a webpart Ah ok, that means you are interested in the screen locking feature which is site-specific. Please take a look at this document and let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Sandro


Member	sschmidt-avastonetech - 10/28/2013 11:30:14 AM RE:Admin Timout as a webpart Does this screen locking feature only work for Admin users or could it be used for Forum users?

RE:Admin Timout as a webpart

Hello,

No this locking feature can not be used for forum users, this is available for the users logged in the administration interface - CMS Desk or Site Manager.

What you can do is to limit the session timeout via web.config file e.g.:

To limit session for 20 minutes:

<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="CMSPages/logon.aspx" defaultUrl="Default.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" timeout="20" slidingExpiration="true"/>
</authentication>

Best regards,
Martin Danko
