App needs a logout button

The My Verizon mobile app needs a logout button. The only ways to logout are to force quite the app or reset your phone. If you don't do that, the next time you open the app, it complains that your session has timed out.

Thanks, Spiral. I am using an iPhone5 with iOS 6 and the latest version of the My Verizon mobile app. There is no logout button.
Yea, the Android app does not have a logout button either but I am not having the 'timed out' error you are getting on the your iOS version.
Sounds like Verizon needs an update to correct the timeout problem and/or add your logout button to the iOS app. In the meantime, I would just continue to close the app (force quit) after use. I know it is a pain, but I found on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5)that having to many apps 'open' was not good either so I would always try to quit as many as possible.
Good luck.

Help needed with Logout Button

Hi all,
I have created a Java faces web application with some of the jsp pages in a protected folder. I am using Tomcat 4.1.24 form based authentication with a memoryRealm. This is all working fine.
I am now trying to create a logout button. I have created a button with an actionRef that invokes the following method:
public Action getLogoutAction() {
return new Action() {
public String invoke() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
//Invalidate the session
HttpSession session = (HttpSession) context.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
if (session != null) {
session.invalidate();
return "logout";
This works. (I can no longer access the protected pages without re-entering the username and password.) However, rather than returning to the login page, I get a nasty HTTP status 500 error message. The 'root cause' is as follows:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: getAttribute: Session already invalidated
     at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.getAttribute(StandardSession.java:954)
     at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSessionFacade.getAttribute(StandardSessionFacade.java:171)
     at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSessionFacade.getAttribute(StandardSessionFacade.java:171)
     at com.sun.faces.context.SessionMap.put(ExternalContextImpl.java:430)
etc etc....
I am not sure what this means. Can anyone help?
Patrick

Can you supply the rest of the stack trace? The "etc. etc." is what we need to see!
I believe this is a JSF RI bug - it looks like it doesn't deal with HttpSession invalidation.
The workaround is to remove the relevant objects from the session instead of invalidating, e.g.:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().remove("userInfo");
context.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().remove("otherThing");Or, even better, keep all of the per-session information that you'd need to chuck as child objects on whatever bean implements getLogoutAction(), so you could write:
public String invoke() {
this.userInfo = null;
this.otherThing = null;
}... which nicely hides any concerns with where or how your logged-in information is stored.
BTW, as a rule of thumb, calling any of getRequest(), getSession(), or getContext() on ExternalContext should be used a last resort. When you use these methods, you break encapsulation. (OTOH,
preserving encapsulation isn't more important than getting your application working.)

Webdynpro logout button - clear session

Hi ,
     I know this has been asked multiple times, i found many thread on it but none solved my problem.
I need a logout button which cleans up user's session in my application, so that when the user logs in next time, the user is forced to enter the credentials again(login screen).
Current state of applicaiton:
I have created an exit plug , which is triggered when clicking a href button in my application. This works fine as it comes out of the applicaiton into a blank screen.
In the applicaiton node(SICF), i have included the java script code.
<html><body><script language="javascript"> function DelSso2Cookie(sName,sPath) {var sso2Domain = location.hostname;if (location.hostname.indexOf(".")>
0)sso2Domain =location.hostname.substr(location.hostname.indexOf(".")+ 1);p="";if(sPath)p=" path="+sPath+";";document.cookie = sName+"=0; expires=Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59GMT;"+p + "domain="+sso2Domain+";";}
</script><span style="font-weight:bold;vertical-align:middle"> <br>
You are logged off successfully
<br></span>
<script language="javascript">
try {document.execCommand( 'ClearAuthenticationCache' );} catch (e) {} DelSso2Cookie("MYSAPSSO2","/");
</script>
<body onload = "DelSso2Cookie("MYSAPSSO2","/")">
</body></html>
     The application logs in automatically when i relaunch the application (user not prompted with login screen).
Thanks & regards,
Tashi

Hi Experts,
     The application remains logged in if the browser tab is closed, but the instance window is still open.
It works as expected if the user closes the window completely..As required, It will ask the user to enter the credential on relaunch.
I want the user to be prompted with login screen everytime user logs off with the exit plug.
Thanks & Regards,
Tashi

My ipod touch is telling me that the skype and twitter apps need updating. When I try to run them they fail. I have tried deleting the apps via itunes but it doesn't work and I have tried updating the apps via itunes and it says they are updated.

My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating. When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times. I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either. If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated. Can anyone assist please?

Problem designing the logout button i.e. the front end jsp

Hi,
my project is an intranet project and starts with the login page. From my login page I am directed to manager, or supervisor, or accountant page where I am needed to perform certain duties. After I am done I need to logout. My problem is that I do not know how to logout and where to place the logout button.
Will the logout button be on each of the manager, supervisor, accountant page or will it be on the manager page and its sub pages and so on.
Also I do not know how to configure this button. Should this button be linked to a controller servlet that will destruct the session and redirect the control back to the login page or this follows a different mechanism.
Do we need to create a frame. Put the logout button on the static side and on ther dynamic side display the pages ie the supervisor, manager, accountant.
Please help me as I am new to jsp and I am not able to visualize this.

Hi^^,
in short: the code you have to send <% session.invalidate(); %> to delete the session -> logout the user. See my example-code:
//logout.jsp
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>example</title>
</head>
<body>
<% session.invalidate(); %>
<p> You are now loged out. </p>
<br><br>
<form method="post" action="index.jsp">
     <input type="submit" value="Back to mainpage">
</form>
</body>
</html>Save this code into a "logout.jsp" and let it be executed if you want to logout.
If you have no idea where to put the logout-button:
I've done it myselb by creating a header.jsp, where I display the log-status and therre is my logout-button:
//header.jsp
<div align="right">
<%
if (session.getAttribute ("username")!=(null))
          // User is loged in
          out.println ("Welcome, ");
          out.println (session.getAttribute ("username"));
          out.println (".");
          out.println ("<br>");
          out.println ("<a href='logout.jsp'>Logout</a><br>");
          out.println ("-------------------------------------");
          out.println ("<br>");
else
          // User is guest
          out.println ("Welcome, Guest");
          out.println ("<br>");
          out.println ("-------------------------------------");
          out.println ("<br>");
%>
</div>The structure:
Include this header.jsp into every page you have. use <%@ include file="header.jsp"%>. Hope this is not too confusing ;)

ITune database shows the wrong number of app needed to be updated.

Dear all,
On the left hand side of iTuen screen, the application shows there are 5 app need to be updated. However, after I click the update button, the system reply there is nothing to be updated.
Can anyone help me to solve this?

Are you signed into the Store?
If the number of updates appeared when you were signed in - and on the same account ID, but now, when you check again you are not signed in, there will be no updates available.

How to do a Logout Button in WD for ABAP ?

Hi all,
i wonder that i cannot find a logout method somewhere. I have read about an exit plug, but how to fire exitplug of a windwow from the view ?
And how to do a normal logout button which logs out the user and start the webdynpro application again and go to the login screen ?
Thx a lot
Roman

how to fire exitplug of a windwow from the view ?
Use Exit Plug in Windows:
Do the following steps :
-> Make an Outbound Plug to the Window.
->Make the type of Outbound plug to Exit Type.
->Add CLOSE_WINDOW of type wdy_boolean as a parameter to the outbound plug of Window.
->Do remember to add Component Name in the Properties Tab of View ( othervs Calling Outbound plug of window from view wont be possible ).
->Fire the outbound plug with close_window as X in the onAction of Exit Button .
Refer SAP online help on using Exit plug to close a window:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/48/ca3351508f04e7e10000000a42189c/content.htm
method ONACTIONGO_EXIT .
data: L_REF_MAIN_WINDOW type ref to IG_MAIN_WINDOW .
L_REF_MAIN_WINDOW = WD_THIS->GET_MAIN_WINDOW_CTR( ).
L_REF_MAIN_WINDOW->FIRE_MY_EXIT_PLUG_PLG( CLOSE_WINDOW = 'X' ).
endmethod.
here Main_window is the window which needs to be closed.
I hope it is clear.

How do you find out more about an App (needs login?, wi-fi?)

Sometimes I purchase an app then find out that I can't use it without creating an account or that it needs an internet connection. Is there any way of knowing ahead of time which apps need what? I thought that, that would be a standard, but it isn't.

The need for an account (for a particular App) or the need for a particular App to connect to the internet is dependent upon the App itself and the person who wrote it. Each App is written by "a bloke (or girl) in his or her bedroom", or an independent company, not by Apple.
To determine whether an App requires either of these things, you need to research the App a bit more. In the App Store, each App should have a description (and you may need to click ther more button to see all of it) and also should have a "Support page" link. The support page should take you to the App developer's website, where I would hope to see all the information I need. But it isn't always like that.
So it's down to you to understand what the App will do, what it needs in order for you to get the best from it and to do your own research to find all that out. There have been Apps I haven't bought because I haven't been able to get enough information about it. That's life, unfortunately.

To make sure that all required media is in the library contain the project you need to "Consolidate media" see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov882dee351
You can then copy the library to your laptop with the Finder and open it with the same version of iMovie. The last phrase is important since Apple has made changes in the project format several times even between minor updates of iMovie 10. Earlier versions may not be able to read the library and later versions (not possible in this case) may cause the project to be updated so that it is no longer readable by the desktop version. iMovie on the laptop will not at first find the copied library - you will have either to double click on it or File - Open library - Other and navigate to its location.

Is it possible to put a "logout" button on the wake-from-screensaver dialog

Does anyone know if there's a setting or hack to put a "logout" option on the password dialogue you get when the machine wakes from sleep or screensaver (with secure option set).
Example: When our family laptop goes to sleep or screensaver after it was open in my account, it will wake up only with my password unless I make my wife's account administrator. If I do so, she can wake the computer without repowering it, but it wakes in MY account even though she's used HER username/password. That's not what we want. We want a logout button that will take her back to the multi-account login screen without rebooting.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

it's not possible to add a logout button but there is no need. just go to system preferences->accounts->login options and enable fast user switching. then the wake from sleep dialog will have a 'switch users" button which will take you to the login window without logging out the current user. you can log into any user from the login window.
Thanks!

I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud. help?

Please assist

You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well.

Why dont my apps need to be updated?

I went to the app store on my ipad, and saw that some fifty apps needed updating. I updated keynote (separatly from the other apps because of the size of the file) and went back to the app store. When i got there, it said' "all apps are up to date."
How could that be? I know there was at least 49 apps left.
Update: looked at my purchaced apps page and the cloud symbol () appears next to a lot of the apps and when i go to that app in the store it says "update" instead of the "install" button. Do i have to go through every app in the purched section in the app store to up date my apps? What a pain!

No you should not have to do that. Try quitting the App Store app completely and then reboot your iPad. Go back to the App Store and see if the updates are listed in the updates tab.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Having 50 apps that need to be updated tells me that you don't use your iPad very frequently or you just let the updates build up. IMO - you can save yourself some possible issues by staying up with your app updates. Update them one app at at time. Using "Update All" seems to cause problems for too many users - again , IMO.
