It should be noted that this is half-hearted as a privacy/security measure. The meta-refresh only works when the browser is sitting on the same page and when the browser is playing along, and the browser can be told not to. In either case, all the history would still be available to the next user. If the user goes to Google, or any other external link, the meta-refresh doesn't work. They're still logged in. <br>
<br>Then there are problems. If you do open a bunch of tabs after getting logged in, when the oldest one hits the timeout, it will log you out in ALL tabs, such that your session will seem to break magically for no reason.<br>
<br>Even if successful, it would be pretty easy to construct at a glance what items previous users were looking at, reserving, etc. <br><br>--Joe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/7 Adrea Lund <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adrea@moablibrary.org">adrea@moablibrary.org</a>></span><br>

<div>Thank you Owen and Zeno for your suggestions!</div>
<div>I shared them with my library's computer consultant and he
does not want to build 'kiosk pcs' if a solution can be incorporated into
KOHA.</div>
<div>Owen's suggestion sounds like it would do pretty much what we
want. </div>
<div>However, I'm not sure exactly what this means... "When the timeout was
reached, the page would redirect to the logout script." Our
library would like to see the following behavior
after a designated time period of inactivity - search
history is cleared, cart is cleared, account is logged out, and browser is
redirected to the catalog home page.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would it be appropriate to log this as an enhancement request in
Bugzilla? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
