1: How to set the Password expiry in openACS
Posted by Anindya Adhikari on 07/27/04 05:56 AM
Hi,
  I have installed openACS5.1. But I am facing some problem with this. Suppose I logon to openACS, but forgot to logout and not using the openACS application for sometime. But next time if I login, it's showing 1 member online and that's me. Is there any way to set the application, so that if I don't use application, it will automatically logout after 15-20 minutes.
Whether I have to install any packages for that?

Kindly let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Anindya

I think you can change some parameters to make this take place. But the 1 member online is showing not because you're still logged in. It shows the number of people who have accessed it recently who have an account (and cookies to show it).

You can change the LoginTimeout found under kernel parameters at <yourserver>/acs-admin/ (look under security).
