Dynamic Action Plugin SkillBuilders Session Timeout

SkillBuilders Session Timeout

Client site handling for session timeouts

For a while now APEX has had a “Maximum Session Idle Time in Seconds” attribute in the Security Settings of an application. As one might imagine, this setting allows developers to kill a user’s session if the user has been idle for a certain amount of time. The problem, however, is that the implementation of this feature is purely server side (which is good from a security perspective). 

Usually when this type of functionality is added to a site, say a bank’s web site, there’s some client side behavior added in addition to the server side behavior. This client side functionality may let a user know that their session has expired or even warn a user before it does. The SkillBuilders Session Timeout plug-in adds this type of client side behavior to APEX applications quickly and easily.

Features at a Glance
  • Configurable timeout actions including alert, redirect, and logout 
  • Optional and configurable warning message
  • Option to keep session alive if user isn’t truly idle. Special thanks to Martin D’Souza for a great idea on how to implement this feature.

Our single sign on server (SSO) times out after 30 minutes of idle time with the server. This drives users crazy especially with a big data entry form. This plug-in was very helpful in detecting real idle time vs server idle time and warning the users before the timeout (APEX 4.0). It does have an incompatibility with APEX 4.2, however, which I just started testing.

Users love to get informed before they loose their page... and I like the security option to black out the screen...
