Hi,

We have an IceCap / IceBreak portal where we need to sign the user off after a number off minutes of idle time – How can we do that?

Re: Auto signoff

Hi;

The best way is to let the client ( the browser ) application take hand of that:

You can download the following and place in your IceBreak development server root on the IFS to see how it can be achieved:

http://demo.icebreak.org/webfiles/samples/autosignoff.zip

1: Simply embed the javascript “redirectTimer.js” in all your web pages ( html / rpgle / aspx) :

<html>
 <head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="redirectTimer.js"></script>
 </head>
 <body>
  <p>This is your "main application" - You will stay on this page as long as you are active</p>
  <button>Do stuff</button>
 </body>
</html>

2: Modify the “redirectTimer.js” to use your timeout values and “logon” html/aspx/rpgle

/*
 * When you include this script on any page - it will redirect you to your page
 * place where "logon.html" is placed
 *
 * Regards - Niels Liisberg
 */
var restartRedirectTimer = (function () {
  var timer;

  var doit = function () {
    window.clearTimeout(timer);
    console.log("Timer reset");
    var millisecBeforeRedirect = 10000; //        <<< change this to your timeout value
    timer = window.setTimeout(function(){
        window.location.href = "logon.html"; //   <<< change this to your location
    },millisecBeforeRedirect);
  };

  doit();
  return doit;
})();

// Set the timer for click and keys
window.onclick = window.onkeypress = restartRedirectTimer;

You can test it by open the logon.html in your browser:

1: Click on the logon button
2: You will now set the “main application”
3: Keep clicking and typing
4: When you stop – you will be redirected to logon.html after 10 sec.

Have fun :)

Best regards,

Re: Auto signoff

Thank you for your help this morning.

However on further testing we are still getting an issue.

Call program with automatic log-on. End program
Call program with manual log on. Log on then end program
Call program with automatic log-on. Initial display OK but logon box displayed when further key pressed.

This does not happen every time, just most times.

Works in Chrome but not in IE9.

Also. How would I get this code into the Icecap app. ?

Thanks.

Don't work in IE

My bad ... IE don't support console.log()

Simply remove this line and you are golden..
