Need auto logout for GUI

[Rick W]

Hi All,

Thanks for a great VM solution!

Our environment requires that we have the proxmox web gui automatically log out after a period of user inactivity.

How do I enable this? I've done some searches but have come up empty.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi,

this is no auto logout implemented.
Only the ticked will expired.

You can make a feature request on
bugzilla.proxmox.com

As long as ticket's are not renewed they're valid for 2 hours. We could make "auto-renewal" configurable, so that the webinterface does not automatically renews the ticket once logged in.

How do I enable this? I've done some searches but have come up empty.

You could use API tokens, they can be invalidated easily, but you'd do some work yourself to:
* Have a meta login which generate a new or updates the expiry date of an existing API token
* log the user in with that in PVE

but this is pretty raw and probably not what you want to do..
