Hi, Is there a way to automatically log off a device session after a defined idle time for security reasons? Requirement came from a company who’s having shared devices among users. wonder the above requirement can be achieved by adjusting below parameter in server web.config "add key=“SittingTimeOut” value=“07:00:00:00” " Ruchira ---

Hi, Yes that could work. But there is also a keep-alive service on the devices that counters that setting a bit so not entirely true. I will ask around a bit and see if I can get a better answer for you ---

If the customer is using Azure AD, maybe it can be done from Azure Portal that the users are logged off once a day? ---

One of my customers set it to 24 hrs so that over the weekend they are logged out automatically. So I think that would work ---

My internal tests seem to indicate that this only works on web client. Android and iOS clients have a keep-alive service on them overriding the server settings. So the keys below will not work on mobiles unfortunately. Passing this on to RnD to add as a feature for the mobiles as well, will come in a not too future release (my best guess, sometime during the fall 2022). ---
