For medical records applications security it is necessary that idle clients be automatically kicked off. Could we have a setting on the application Server so that idle clients are disconnected after x minutes? I imagine other developers have the same issue. You already are tracking how long they are idle for and have a mechanism to log them off. Maybe it would not be too hard to implement???

+1 on that.

Note that, as we want to push the limits, we will need to put different idletime limit to different groups/users… ![:?]( "Confused")

In believe in my opinion this would be a valid feature for many applications .

This can be done using our new [UserManager plugin](http://www.servoy-plugins.de)… That allows you even to set specific idle times to web and smart clients as well as individual clients.

I know this can be done with Patrick’s UserManager plugin. But, IMHO, the UserManager plugin is a overkill if you just need to disconnect users after X number of minutes of inactivity (idle).

I was expecting this feature already in 5.x. – something that I could easily set in the Admin console. Is it somewhere else? If so, how can set the max of idle time?
