PB17 sleeps due to automatic logout

Does anyone here know how to turn off automatic logout? My PB17 goes to Screen Saver after 15 min, but if I've been in class for an hour and come back to see if I have any messages, my computer is on a black screen and wont go back to the desktop. I have to force shut down-restart the whole thing. This is getting VERY old. Sometimes, depending on what programs are running, the automatic logout is cancelled due to a certain program. Is there a way to fight this so I can have my computer running more than it is now?

You can disable automatic logout from the Security pane of System Preferences.

DT message on login and automatic logout

Hi,
a user booted the Solaris 9 (SunBlade 150) and proceeded a normal login.
The DT Message came saying to check /etc/hosts and other files, and
did automatic logout. The /var/adm/messages entry is this:
Jul 18 15:59:26 `hostname` dtsession[688]: [ID 684647 user.error] libtt[688]: libtt: startup_ttsession("ttsession -s -d :0") failed with code -1, see syslog
No Syslog entry. The ~/.dt/startlog looks like:
--- starting desktop on /dev/pts/2
/usr/dt/bin/ttsession[444]: ttsession: Tooltalk magic cookie authentication failed due to TT_AUTHFILE_ACCESS.
See system log file (/var/adm/messages) for details.
/usr/dt/bin/ttsession[444]: child ttsession exited with status 1
/usr/dt/bin/Xsession[757]: 425 Hangup
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
It is happening only to this user. Does anyone have any idea how
to correct that?
Thanks a lot for any help ...

In the user's directory, remove .TTauthority and .Xauthority. Check that .dtprofile is degault (may want to copy it from another user). I don't remember if you have to remove .ICEauthority as well. Then have the user log back in.

How to Automatically Logout Users

We recently created user accounts to enable parental controls for our teens. Very often, someone in the house will have used the mac, but forgets to logout from their account. Since there are different restrictions on different accounts, I would like to find a way to automatically log a user out after inactivity (especially if it is the admin user that has forgotten to log out, as we have NO parental controls!!). I have gone to system prefs and under security have set the automatic logout after 10 minutes of inactivity, but it did not log the user out. It seemed to put the computer to sleep, but NOT log the user out. Help?!?

Hmm ... I found this in the Help files:
+IMPORTANT: You should save any documents you’ve changed and close any applications that may present a dialog before closing. If any dialogs for unsaved documents or open applications appear during the log out, your computer will not finish logging you out.+
Is it possible that you hadn't saved all of your work or that one of your apps had a dialog box showing? Alternatively, Fast User Switching may work better for you. Here's what the Help says about that:
+When a user logs out of the computer, any open documents and applications close. If you want to allow multiple accounts to be running at the same time, you should allow “fast user switching.”+
+When fast user switching is turned on, the name of the current user is displayed in the upper-right corner of the menu bar. You can click the name to select another user to switch to.+
Fast User Switching would eliminate the need to log out when leaving the computer; simply go up to where it gives the name of the account on the top right corner of the screen and select Login Window. All users remain logged in, even when another user is working in a different account, until someone either logs out or the computer is restarted. To enable this, go to System Preferences > Accounts. Then click on Login Options at the bottom of the list of accounts. On the right, check the box that says Enable Fast User Switching and select the view you'd like to see in the menu bar.
I hope this helps!

Automatic logout in SAP System after Pressing Confirm button

Dear all,
We have Stock confirmation Transaction(ZTransaction) coming from SAP System through ITS. Our Issue is When user click on Confirm button in that transaction, background process will run. It is more like running Replenishment in ICH. Then user will be able to see the order pager after 45 min,after pressing Stock confirmation button. but the user is still alive in backend system, this will causing load on the backend system. So want to set automatic logout from that system after pressing confirm button in that transaction.
Can anyone help me or guide the logic to implement in ABAP Program.
Note: User will access this Transaction through Portal.

Dear all,
There are two function modules are available...they are as follows.

Automatic logout

I am looking for code which will automatically logout user whenever he refresh page or click on back button.
I am using JSp and Servlets

elOpalo
i checked your answer, but probably its not the answer i am looking for.
you used onLoad() which called at time loading the page
similarly, onUnload() called whenever page unloads or redirect to next page.
In your solution, even though user didn't press back/forword/refresh buttons of browser, and follows normal flow of execution, then also he will get error.
because even though its normal flow of execution whenever next servlet/jsp is called existing one went in state of unload.
and if i wrote code for logout on event of unload then its all making no sense.
i need to implement to make my application secure.
like most of us seem in banking application, whenever user hits back/forword/refresh button, or terminate program abnormaly; he automatically get logout.
please guys help me in this.
I am 2 steps away from my deployment, and still dont have any clue for this problem.
thanks in advance,

Automatic logout of Forte clients

We would like to be able to detect if a user has not done anything for a
period of time - so that we can do automatic logouts after x minutes of
inactivity. Detecting inactivity sounds like the sort of job an agent
would do. Has anyone tried anything like this, or got any suggestions as
to how else we might do it - on a Forte client?
Thanks,
Graham Jenkins

Hi,
I would use BAT for that:
1. Create the services and the service profile, enable one user for IM&Presence using the service profile
2. Export all users using BAT in CUCM (Bulk Administration->users->Export Users, run immediately, then change to Bulk Administration->Job Scheduler, when your job is completed you can download the export file using Bulk Administration->Upload/Download Files)
3. Change the file extension from txt to csv and edit the file with your favorite CSV editor, so you enable all users for IM&Presence and add the service profile
4. Upload the file again with the last step in 2.
5. Use Bulk Administration->Users->update Users->custom file to update the user information.
Best regards,
Thomas.

Automatic logout by realm ?

Does anyone know if it is possible to automatically
logout anyone after a specific number of minutes of
inactivity? I want to do this through the custom realm
in the EJB server, not a servlet session. The reason
being that I want to logout all types of clients, not
only web-users.
TIA
Björn

Turn it off in the Security pane of System Preferences.

DSC and security features: automatic logout

Hello,
I'm using the security features of LabVIEW 8.5.1 and the DSC module.
Does someone know how to enable the automatic logout feature (logout after a specified time without user interaction)?
Thanks in advance.
Tom
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Ben,
meanwhile a NI-Support-Engineer provided an answer for that issue:
If you are using LabVIEW DSC 7.1 there should be an
option in the menu where you can set the minutes of inactivity
until the automatic logout.
In LabVIEW 8.x you will have to implement this on your
own. There is a VI that will do the logout itself but the
timing needs to be implemented by yourself.
So Ben, you are right: this functionality is simply not available anymore in LabVIEW 8.x!
There is an KnowledgeBase document targeting that problem:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0A8C5B624365A25E8625721100548970?OpenDocument
but the contained example VI doesn't make too much sense.
The problem is that the DSC_Lougout.vi ignores the "idle" in "Minutes idle until logout". It simply logs out the user after a specific time elapsed without considering if the user is still active.
Regards,
Thomas

Automatic logout on Macintosh computers

Hi there,
I have been asked to investigate how to automatically logout Macintosh computers from Bordermanager.
Currently, all of our copies of Firefox and Safari on those computers have a Bordermanager logout bookmark (pointing to proxy:1959/cmd/BM-Logout.htm). However frequently users fail to click this before leaving the computer, which means the next user can use up the previous user's entire data allocation.
My line of thinking is that the answer lies in Macintosh login/logout hooks, which are simply command line scripts that run on login and logout. So my theory is if we can load the Bordermanager logout page from the command line, then we should be able to force a disconnection from the server when a user logs in or out.
I was going to experiment with using 'wget' but I thought I had better run it past the Bordermanager community first to see if someone had done this before, and if so, how did they do it?
Thanks in advance,
Erik

I just realized something here, and thought it would be good to clarify
for anyone reading this. (Especially since I just had a call today on
this very subject).
Running dwntrust removes clntrust from the windows system tray/stops
running clntrust. This does NOT clear proxy authentication. Using the
url for the BMgr logout DOES clear proxy authentication.
Just because clntrust is running doesn't mean that the proxy isn't
still holding old proxy login information for your IP address.
The proxy uses proxy authentication to associate a browser's IP address
to an NDS user ID. In order to avoid authenticating a user for every
packet, the proxy must remember the association for some period of
time. In order to prevent associating the IP address to the same user
forever, there must be a mechanism to periodically clear the
association. So Novell engineered an idle timeout system. By default
(with clntrust - ssl login is configurable) the idle timeout is 3
minutes. After the idle time passed with the proxy seeing no
additional browse requests from the same IP address, it will clear the
authentication. Clntrust only ADDS the authentication, and dwntrust
does nothing about authentication - it just unloads clntrust.
There are 3 ways to clear proxy authentication:
1. Wait until the idle timeout expires
2. Use the clear authentication URL
3. Unload proxy.nlm
Just wanted to clarify there. I had a client of mine call me wondering
why her access rules weren't working. She changed a deny rule from Any
to just Students, and then she logged in as a student. She was still
allowed access. The reason was that the proxy was remembering her
previous login and still had her IP address associated to her
non-student user ID. So she had done everything right when changing
her access rule, but simply was not testing correctly. Had her very
confused for a bit.

Automatically logout during idle

My laptop has a problem that, when it is idle (with xscreensaver), after around half an hour, the laptop will be automatically logout to the login manager.
When the logout happened, it shows also the systemd services screen.
This is very troublesome if I am away and let my laptop to process something.
Does anyone know what is the cause and how to solve this?

Mac Mini G4 refuses to sleep due to KVM switcher

I have a KVM switcher + powered USB hub hooked up between my Mac Mini G4 and a PC- while the PC is able to enter standby mode, my Mac always wakes up within 3 seconds of entering sleep mode. Belkin tech support said this is due to the Mac receiving USB signals (albeit me not moving the mouse, touching the keyboard, etc), and told me to ask Apple how to disable this feature.
Ideally, I'd like the computer only to wake up from a keyboard signal, but the powered hub might be making that unfeasible. However, I'm okay with taking the Mac out of sleep mode by pressing the button on its back.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this (as my LCD monitor's output is beginning to suffer)?
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi, Jamie. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. You wrote: "I have a KVM switcher + powered USB hub"It's unclear if you mean:
a. Two separate peripheral devices, i.e. KVM switchbox and a powered USB hub.
b. One peripheral device that performs both functions.1.1. Which is it, (a) or (b)?
1.2. If (b), is the USB hub is connected to each computer, or the KVM switchbox? If the former, try the latter. Don't connect the same USB hub directly two two computers2. You wrote: "Belkin tech support said this is due to the Mac receiving USB signals (albeit me not moving the mouse, touching the keyboard, etc), and told me to ask Apple how to disable this feature."If you make any change to USB devices (power them on or off, connect or disconnect them) on a USB chain that connects to the Mac, then the Mac will wake.
This feature cannot be disabled: it is a function of the circuitry.
If you look at the "USB Ports" section of the "Devices and Ports" chapter of the Mac Mini G4 Developer Note, in the subsection entitled "USB Features" you will see:"Wake Up From Sleep
USB devices can provide a remote wakeup function for the computer. The USB root hub in the computer is set to support remote wakeup whenever a device is attached to or disconnected from the bus. The keyboard that comes with the computer uses this method to wake the computer on a key press.
Connect and Resume
The Intrepid ASIC contains special circuitry that allows the computer to wake from sleep mode on connect, disconnect, and resume events. Compatible USB devices should support the USB-suspend mode defined in the USB specification."Therefore, if you put your Mini to sleep, then connect, disconnect, power-on, or power-off a USB device on any USB chain connected to the Mini, the Mini will wake.
3. It may also be that either the KVM switchbox or USB Hub (whether alone or a combined device) could be defective. I one had a similar problem where I'd put one of my Macs to sleep and it would wake immediately. Turned out to be a bad Belkin USB hub. Removing the hub restored normal sleep function.
Good luck!

Now T420 wont sleep due to srvnet????????

So last night my laptop wouldn't sleep when I shut the lid. I fixed that issue today, and now when I shut the lid or use Fn+F4 the sleep option works like a charm.
Now, I have another problem today. I found out that my computer is not going to sleep, stopping the hard disks or hibernating on it's own while it's idle. I can manually shut the lid or use the Fn+F4 but if I just leave it sitting on my desk, with or without AC power, it will not sleep or hibernate. Only thing that happens in the screen dims and shuts off as per my settings.
I ran some type of system scan with powercfg -energy and found this result:
System Availability Requestsystem Required Request
The device or driver has made a request to prevent the system from automatically entering sleep.
Driver Name \filesystem\srvnet
Does any one know what this is or how I can stop this so my computer will sleep on it's own? I'm running Windows 7 Pro if that helps.

hey andyems10,
launch Task Manager and see if there is any program/software called "srvnet", if there is; check the description and see which program owns it.
if you have the installer file for that program, try reinstalling and see how it goes from there.

Automatic logout on SERVER

Server 10.6.6.
How do I set the local server admin account to logout automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity?
I am pretty sure this used to be possible, but I don't see the setting in System Prefs > Security.
Thanks,
b.

We do this by setting the server as a member of a computer group in Workgroup Manager. In our case we put only our servers in this group for exactly the reason I assume you are looking for. We manage only the login preferences to eliminate network users logging into the server itself directly at the machine and to log it out if an admin forgets to.
Set the preferences for the computer group to log out after however many minutes you wish of inactivity. Our server also hosts our Open Directory so this can be done to have the server control itself as well as others.
Hope this helps.

11inch air turns off when sleep due to unknown problem/takes awhile to fire up

Hello,
Since the update to Mavericks i've noticed everytime i put my macbook air to sleep for longer than a few minutes.. it's shut itself off and when it fire up (after holding the power button for quite a few seconds) it comes up saying it turned off due to an unknown problem.
This never used to happen, I bought the Macbook Air 11 inch in September so its still fairly new. Is there anything im missing here - everythings up to date. I dont know if i should take it to genius bar yet or if theres something i could try to fix it.

You are not alone. This is a very active topic. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495588?start=0&tstart=0
The remedy mentioned several times in that thread is to reset SMC + PRAM and in check "Put hard disks to sleep when possible”. It is not a perfect solution. The problem reoccurs for some people.

If that does not do the job, go to an Apple store for a repair or replacement.
Actually, given this is an intermittent problem for others, you may want to take it to an Apple store before you try to make it better to have it fail in their presence. After that try the fixes and if the problem comes back you will have a documented case for Apple to repair or replace the unit.
