Auto Signoff Utility for Vantage 6.1

Here's something I got right from Epicor: I was unable to use it however
because after the time out limit is reached, the user is disconnected
totally. I believe the 8.0 version (though I haven't tested it yet) only
times out the session, but leaves it inactive so that when the timed out
user returns, if there is an available license, the session re-activates
just as if had never timed out. In the 6.1 version, the returning user must
launch a new session.



With Progress 9.1D03, Progress has made available a timeout feature.

To implement the feature the following lines must be added to the Startup
registry key on the server. This process applies to all clients connected
to the database. It applies to any Progress connections to the database.

Where 'n' is the number of minutes after which the user will be disconnected
if there is no activity. Again, this is a server parameter so all users
will be affected by this setting. Activity is defined as mouse and keyboard
activity from client to server.

This ClientTimeOut parameter can be put into the registry of the following
key, by default this key will not exist so will need to be created.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.1D\STARTUP

Once you open the Startup Key, from the top select EDIT > NEW > STRING.
The string name is called "ClientTimeOut" in the value field put in how many
minutes till disconnection.

Once the changes have been made you will need to reboot the server for
progress to reread the registry on startup of the Admin Service.

Does anyone have a utility that will automatically signoff a user after
X minutes of inactivity - for Vantage 6.1?

If so, it would be greatly appreciated to receive a copy.

Thanks,

This is a built in function in Progress 9.1d and Vantage 6.1. Search EpicWeb's knowledgebase for details how to make registry setting. Downside it is ALL or Nothing....can't set different times for different people. Also there are ways to circumvent it and prevent timing out....including some issues with Citrix Metaframe sessions never looking inactive. We have it set to 4 hours and it seems to do the job. Especially terminating ghost sessions.
