log out a user when user closes tab or browser

[Sam W]

Is there a way in Django to log out a user when user closes tab or browser? This one "SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE =True" Doesn't work

[Christian Ledermann]

SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE works for me

but only when you close the browswer, closing a tab will not log you out

also it depends on the browser (firefox seemed in the past to ignore this)

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.

I have a suggest for you. Its non standard.

First create a javascript infinite loop to make a get call every 1 minute.

Also make session expiration time at 2 minutes. So if tabs closed the session will expire at 1 minute.

Thank you for your response. 

SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True

Doesn't work well in Chrome browser. Plus I want the client's session

to be expired/logged out when tab closed.

Thank you for your response. 

JavaScript infinite loop behavior gets blocked by Antivirus.

You can use jquery. you can write a function like logout (in the view)
after that when browser tab is closed (you have to check with jquery
code) you can kill user session.

How about on `window.onbeforeunload` you delete the session id from the cookie, on next visit no session id to send so should be considered logged-out.
