Auto log-off in SharePoint

Question

Is there a way for SharePoint to log a user out after inactivity?

I read that if session state is enabled then it will make SharePoint slower. 

Answer 1

Probably using sessions will be helpful for Sharepoint to log out the user after some time of inactivity. It won't make Sharepoint slower when used Session State for a limited functionality.

Below reference is for an idea to get the work around,

If your SharePoint STS does not use session cookie (check by run PowerShell command: (get-spsecuritytokenserviceconfig).usesessioncookies ), you can set cookie timeout. Please read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh147183.aspx ;

 

If you are using session cookie,  please read my reply at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/b97b4ef3-75c8-4c11-852e-e7de97c897dd/ .
