Remain logged-in to MII always

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

How can a user remain logged-in to MII always after first login till specifally logging off?

Do we have any session expired preperty that can be set to false?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Just have some ajax pinging the server in the background to reset the session clock.

Hello Christian,

How are you?

That's a nice trick!! Usually I use a dummy invisible grid with auto-refresh set for certain interval of time to keep session alive.

Hi Christian and Adarsh..

Thanks a lot for your valuable response.

@ Christian: Can you please give technical details of how do I reset the session clock using AJAX?

@ Adarsh: For auto-refreshing of grid, did you ever find any issues? Is this a full proof method?

Any time you come up with a fool proof method, a more capable fool will come along and mess it up.

I personally think that the software archictect has to ask him/herself why the there must be "all-time-logged" without session time out. Is it because user is to lazy to log in?. Security policies? What happen if the user no longer at PC but still logged-in?

-dynamic polling will only cause the usage of unnecesary resources of MII.

I do not have answer to your question but just want to throw my opinion.

Hello Kedar,

By setting the "SessionTimeOut" value located under,

MII Portal --> System Management > System Administration>SessionTimeOut 

to higher value you can increase the session expiration limit.

But I would recommend NOT doing an infinite session because say for instance that Users don't not use "Logout" option to close their session instead they directly close the browser in this case user will be kicked out of MII but an active session still remains in NW shared Memory space thus building up multiple infinite sessions just for one user and eventually your NW goes out of memory resulting in system breakdown.

Hope this helps!!
