How to kill session on browser close

Can anyone tell me, how to invalidate the session on browser closes. I am using Internet Explorer as
browser.

Hi anmol10
if evnafets is to be believed, there is no 100% surefire way to do this. This is doing my head in a bit - I refuse to believe that there isn't some way around this.
I've been trying all kinds of things, kicking off threads that keep track of the sessions etc, but to no avail.
Let us know if you think of anything!

  • IPlanet Messaging Server -- kill session at browser close

    iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.09
    We found a potential security risk.
    When a person loads Messenger Express through the web and closes their browser, another person can come in behind them and resume the previous persons session. This is accomplished by going through the browser history and accessing any of the links that point inside the mail client.
    When the browser closes, the session isnt killed. Its only killed/inaccessible if the user times out or clicks log-out. We've tested this on just about any browser we can get our hands on.
    Is there a fix/patch/workaround for this? I've combed the documentation and the site and can find nothing.
    We are using the product in an University environment and this can be particularly nasty in the labs.
    Thanks!

    There is an idletimeout that defaults to 10 minutes.

  • Ending a session on browser close only (firefox)

    I'm trying to end a user's session when they close the browser, because they never logout properly.
    I need to change a value in the db after they close the browser only.
    <script type ="text/javascript" >
    var clicked = false;
    var xmlHttp
    var browser = navigator.appName;
    function CheckBrowser() {
    if (clicked == false) {

  • How to kill session when connection closed

    Hi,
    we develop asp.net application and we use oracle database at the backend.
    when we close oracle connection inside asp.net application oracle session still remains. We disabled connection pooling but nothing changed.
    This causes that so many sessions there are and very often tns erros occur.
    In the case of we close oracle connection inside asp.net application oracle session must be killed.
    How can we achieve this ?
    any help is greatly appreciated..
    thank you.

    I'm not sure I've encountered a case where disabling connection pooling did not make the connection go away once the connection was disposed.
    Are you also disposing of any connected objects you may have created (blobs, refcursors, etc)?
    Do you have a small simple aspx page you can submit that demonstrates the behavior?

  • (ask)how to detect locking and how to kill session

    I want to update a row in a table, table "X" for example.
    I got ORA-00054:resource busy and acquire with no wait spesified.
    How do i search and kill the session that is locking the table? i dont have oracle Enterprise Manager so i think it has to be done by querying against v$session, v$transaction etc. to get the session and kill it.
    Can anyone show me the select statement to find out the sesion and the command to kill it.
    thank you

    DBA_OBJECTS holds the object_id.
    Use the object_id to select locks from V$LOCK, where object_id equals ID1 or ID2 (depends on the type of lock).
    See Oracle Database Reference for more details.

  • How to kill the browser at logging off?

    When clicking "logoff" at EP, we get a confirmation popup.
    Once the "yes" is clicked, we want the entire browser is killed.
    Please advise us how to do it. Points guaranteed.
    Thanks!

    If by browser killing you mean browser shut down/close; then you can look up the component that is called on logoff and add a window.close() there.

  • How to kill a  session in stored procedure or trigger.

    Can anyone let me know, how to kill a particular session in stored procedure or trigger.
    Regards
    KVSS

    also you cannot attempt to kill ur own current session.
    But on what circumstances you want to kill the session.
    When anyone trys to access a table and lets suppose the trigger onthat table activates
    and you want to kill that very session which activated the trigger ???
    i dont think its possible. To kill a session definitely you should be in a different session and
    then only you can achieve that.

  • How to find and kill session similar to forms user session

    We have a forms and reports based system that uses the oracle sessions. Sometimes if a form takes a long time we have the need to navigate to iAS>Forms>User Sessions, find the IP of the machine where the form is not responding and kill it based on the IP of the troublesome machine.
    I want to add this into our forms environemnt so people can kill their own sessions if need be but not sure how this is handled
    is it a simple alter system kill session in the db or something different.
    also how is the ip found to match the session?
    Thanks

    hi,
    Instead Set session timeout parameters..So that user gets logged off automatically from the application after a particular interval of time
    For this you have to make changes in httpd.conf file,web.xml file and env file

  • How to kill particular Oracle Session from the multiple Session of User

    Hi,
    I am working on Web Application using ASP.NET , C# with Oracle. I am excuting queries from multiple connection of same user. I want to kill particular user session. I have tried to Kill session by using ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid,serial#' it is working fine but how can i identify which session is generated by particular connection so that i can kill that particular session.
    Suppose there us user 'abc' there are multple instance of this user and all are active but same USERNAME. So Please tell me how can i identify that session through which i am executing the query.
    Thanks,
    Nitin

    Some ideas for how to pick the right session:
    -Look at the time the session was connected (logon_time)
    -Look at the time the session last started it's most recent statement (last_call_et)
    -Look at the sql that the session is running (join with sql_address and sql_hash_value over to v$sqltext_with_newlines or one of the other views that show you the sql they are running)
    That usually gets me most of the way, if it's possible to distinguish them. ("Yeah I just started this query and I want you to kill it." is different than "I started five different queries at about the same time and I'm not sure which one I need killed.")
