Automatic logout after some minutes of inactivity in iRODS rule language?

[John]

Hi,

Normally iRODS user can use $ iexit full  to logout.

I would like to make user credentials more secure by using automatic logout after 15 minutes of inactivity. Which codes could I use in iRODS rule language  if possible?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,

John

Hi,

iinit and iexit do not actually maintain a connection with the server. These iCommands respectively produce or remove a scrambled password file on the client side which allows the user to avoid entering their password on every iCommand invocation. If you want to run an iexit after a certain period of time, that will need to be implemented as part of your client deployment as the server is not involved in that side of the transaction.

You may want to consider other methods of authentication to achieve your goal. See the docs for more: https://docs.irods.org/4.2.10/plugins/pluggable_authentication

Hope that helps
