Logout user on browser close

Hello, i'm trying to force logout after I close the browser but I don't know how to do it.

If I close the browser without logging out and then I go back to the application the user is still logged in.

Is there a way to configure Auth to logout users after I close the browser?

Thank you!

Andrés

Re: Logout user on browser close

Use a session cookie vs a cookie set to expire at a future date. This will clear the cookie every time the browser closes

Another thing to note.

In the cookbook explains that the user data is stored in a cookie. I don't want that. I would like to store the user data in a session so after closure the session expires and the user is not logged in anymore.

Thanks

Re: Logout user on browser close

PHP uses a browser cookie to store the visitors session id. The only other way is to daisy chain the ID on the URL....... you don't want that trust me :-)

"Use a session cookie vs a cookie set to expire at a future date. This will clear the cookie every time the browser closes."

Could you give me an idea on how to do that?

Thank you!

Your user data is not stored in a cookie - where is that stated?

I don't want that. I would like to store the user data in a session so after closure the session expires and the user is not logged in anymore.

That's how it works.

Re: Logout user on browser close

I don't know if the data itself is stored in a cookie or in a session.

But what is stored in a cookie is some info for the login.

Anyway, do you know how to logout the user when I close the browser?

I suppose it's a very common feature of any web application.

Thank you!

Set the session cookie timeout to "0" "Zero" in core.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Session_cookie

Google: Very common application used by web developers.

Re: Logout user on browser close

Worked perfectly.

Thanks

Just for the record: I used Google but I didn't know there was a session cookie and that I could set the timeout to zero.
