Auto-logout

⚠️ The following is intended for IT departments ⚠️

Read this if your organization needs to auto-logout users after a period of inactivity. You may want to install Dilato using GPO before configuring auto-logout.

Setting Auto-Logout

To enable auto-logout, add an environment variable DILATO_AUTO_LOGOUT_AFTER_MINUTES with a value that is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

For example, to log out users after 10 minutes of inactivity, set the DILATO_AUTO_LOGOUT_AFTER_MINUTES environment variable to 10. After 10 minutes of inactivity (no mouse clicks or keyboard input), the user will be logged out automatically.

Recommended: We suggest setting the value to no less than 5.

Verifying Auto-Logout is Enabled

To confirm that auto-logout is enabled, go to the Dilato app settings. Under General, you will see:

Inactivity Notification

30 seconds before auto-logout, users will receive an OS notification. They will be informed that clicking or typing anywhere will cancel the auto-logout. Make sure notifications for Dilato are enabled for this feature to work properly.
