Timeout redirection to login page

[SteveMott]

I am advised that upon the timeout limit being reached, it is not possible for the users system to automatically display the login screen (as happens with Caspio bridge).

Has anyone managed a workaround for this?

Thanks

Hi @SteveMott, have you already tried checking the Advanced settings of your authentication? See screenshots below and to this article: https://howto.caspio.com/authentications-and-connections/authentication/authentication/#:~:text=Timeout and redirection

Hi Steve,

You could add the next script in the header or footer of your DataPages:
 

<script>
const delayMinutes = 15;

const events = ['mousedown', 'mousemove', 'keypress', 'scroll', 'touchstart'];
const intervalHolder = {
interval: null
}
const reload = () => {
window.location.reload()
}
const setTimer = (time) => {
intervalHolder.interval = window.setTimeout(reload, time)
}
const resetTimer = () => {
window.clearInterval(intervalHolder.interval)
setTimer(delayMinutes*60000)
}
const addListeners = (eventsArray) => {
eventsArray.forEach(event => {document.addEventListener(event, resetTimer, true)})
}

const main = () => {
addListeners(events)
setTimer(delayMinutes*60000)
}

main()
</script>

You can customize the number of minutes of allowed inactivity in delayMinutes variables. It is set to 15 now.
So what this script does is next: it sets a timer every time any activity on the page stops.Timer resets each time when activity resumes. When timer runs out, it forces page refresh which In combination with aforementioned authentication settings ensures that one will be redirected to login page again

Thank you PotatoMato and Volomeister; that worked perfectly.

Great stuff
