Logout from DataPage when page is closed

[Paolo]

Hi Everybody,

I was wondering if there is any way to automatically logout an authenticated user from a page when the page is closed in their browser. This is to prevent anyone else from accessing that page if it's reloaded.

Thank you.

Hi @Paolo,

You may use timeout setting of authentication in order to log-out the user.

• Time out and redirection – Configure session expiration after user inactivity and provide a page or URL to redirect timed out users.

You can set the interval when authentication session will expire, however the log-out will happen only after session expires and user tries to do some action on a form.

It will not be possible to terminate the session of the user simply closes a browser tab or browser.

If you are looking for automatic log out even if user left the page open, then you can use the following JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', ()=>{

    setTimeout(()=>{

        window.location = "https://xxxxxxxx.caspio.com/folderlogout"; //your logout URL from caspio authentication

    }, 5000); // duration of session in milliseconds 
});

</script>

Hope this helps.

Hi @Vitalikssssss, that's a possibilty. I actually implemented something different. With a javascript I added a LOGOUT button to the page. That way, if the user wants to logout after they're finished thay can do so.

Thanks a lot all the same
