Idle Logout Doesn't Happen

[ateam-adam]

Steps to reproduce

1. Set session_lifetime to 600 seconds
2. Set session_keepalive to false

Expected behaviour

The user is logged out after 10 minutes

Actual behaviour

The user is not logged out

I suspect this is because of the notifications API/AJAX stuff going on behind the scenes which is keeping the session alive but maybe this is being taken into account and the problem lies elsewhere.

I would say that this is how it works now. If there is a request send, then the session timeout is shifted.

[ateam-adam]

Yeah I hear you but it effectively makes auto-logging out impossible which is something out client needs. Is it possible to disable those background AJAX scripts easily that I'm missing to avoid it?

[nickvergessen]

You can disable background polling, but this is nothing we can do for everyone.
Just set this line here to 660000:

https://github.com/nextcloud/notifications/blob/23b0b293b385ee8033ed9b4458d8e4ad16388188/js/app.js#L19-L20

then the next polling will happen after 11 minutes and therefor you timed out already.

[ykcab]

did we ever got a fix for this? the issue persist in version 13.0.2. Can't we just edit the log in session in the log in index page?

[blizzz]

@nickvergessen has a proposed fix in nextcloud/notifications#130 if you mind testing

[nickvergessen]

@ateam-adam you had any chance to test the fix?

[nickvergessen]

Will be fixed in 14
