Strike this, just checked the event log, it's working. I'm guessing it
was getting fooled by odbc and / or RD connections.

Subject: [Vantage] ClientTimeOut registry setting

Hi,

I've put the ClientTimeOut parameter in the Vantage Servers registry as
detailed below, set the value to 75, and rebooted. I was expecting this
would result in a 75 minute logoff time.

I've logged a session into my vantage account minimized it, and have not
restored it. ...it sits there.... I'm not getting logged out.

I've double and triple checked the registry entry. When I look through
the progress pid listing there are other users that logged in this
morning, according to the windows session monitor there has been no
activity for hours, they still appear to be logged in as well.

Vantage 6.1, release 518, Progress 9.1D08

Any ideas?

Thanks

Steve



HOW TO SETUP THE PROGRESS ClientTimeOut

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.

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.
