Hello,

I'm working on a webapp using Silverstripe 3.1 where users can signup and login. I use the memberprofiles module for it.

I noticed that when a user is logged in, if he is inactive for a certain time (around 10 min or so) he is automatically logged out. I would like to disable this, so that the user stays logged in forever as long as he has the page open.

Any ideas which settings I should disable to accomplish this?

Thanks

Willr

Session timeouts are standard. If you want to keep the users session active, you can follow what the CMS does and do an AJAX query to ping a given URL. Userforms also does this to prevent form timeouts.

Thanks Willr. This helps me a lot. It was really not clear to me where to look.

What exactly causes then the log out of the user? Is it because when the session times out logout is explicitly called somewhere or is it rather an effect of the garbage collection?
