VetView Session Timeout
After a predefined time period of inactivity, VetView can display a popup window asking the user if he/she wishes to stay logged in. Session timeout is set using zk.xml config file in VetView/WEB-INF folder. Given Shown below is a sample of this tile with session time set to 1800 seconds (30 minutes). This file should live at: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\webapps\VetView\WEB-INF\zk.xml
The system will warn the user about the upcoming session invalidation when the timeout is 5 minutes away from occuring (After 25 mins of inactivity, in the above example). The message stays on for 5 mins before the user is automatically logged out from the system. Inside this 5 minutes, if the user decides to stay logged in and clicks the 'OK' button on the pop up window, the session timer is reset. If the user works in multiple tabs, the warning message should be displayed on all of them. Exceptions to Session TimeoutAdministrators can exempt users from this log-out period by checking the Session Exempt check-box on the User/Employee Management Screen for that user. This allows are user to stay logged in for an unlimited amount of time with no activity.
Tomcat Session TimeoutThis is an optional secondary method of ensuring that inactive users are fully timed out of the system. This also frees up a session if you have a large number of users. The Tomcat session timeout is in the following web.xml file in the session-config section: Tomcat's timeout file is measured in minutes. The example below is set to auto terminate the session after 30 minutes of no activity.
Incorrect Password Account-Locking VetView locks the account of a user if someone gets the password incorrect 5 times in a 10 minute period. This password lock can be reset under the User/Employee Management Screen. |
