time out period

**DBConz** · #1 10-26-07, 08:44 AM

question for the admins, or anyone else that might know...
what's the time limit before getting automatically signed off?
it seems like every 5 mins or less, I have to login again.
Thanks.

I can keep the site open for days from any number of computers - both Mac & PC - and not get logged out. Do you have your intrawebs settings set to update pages like you describe?

**DBConz** · #3 10-26-07, 09:02 AM

not sure I follow your question. It just seems that every few mins when i refresh the page, I get redirected to log back in again.

IE7 (local LAN) and Firefox 2.0.0.8 (my proxy server to my house)

damn, I think he's right. Looks like I should probably quit my System Admin job and go back to phone sex hotlines

So why am I getting signed off every few mins and seeing this error message?

If you check of 'remember me' when you log in, it shouldn't log you out. Ever*. If you don't check that, 15 minutes of inactivity will terminate your login session.

* unless you delete your cookies.

awesome, thanks!
That'll work till I close Firefox when it deletes the cookies, but that's a setting I put in there. 15 mins was what I was looking for.

Good point, edited my response above.

I'm pretty sure the default settings dont clear your history and cookies when closing the browser, but you do have to make sure to avoid the ID10T error.

You're right, you have to set it that way and only FF has that option. I use FF as my "visiting shady websites" browser for exactly that reason.

"shady websites".

i use mine to connect to my home proxy server i set up on my domain, so my internet activity only shows my home IP address. My old job was cracking down on monitoring web activity, and they never could figure out how I was browsing on known blocked sites. now that's shady
