I've developed a database system and related http access via web browser. All section are under restricted access (logign+pswd). I am wondering if there's a way to expire the access on the browser after the navigation and use of the database has been interrupted for a certain continuos amount of time (say 5 minutes). The user should then be propmted to re-enter his password again to continue using the database (e.g.like hotmail). Any suggestion will be welcomed, thanks.

This has been discussed before: the password and login is "remembered" by the browser. When accessed through Web Companion, the web user is not actually logged into the database. Each transaction is handeled individually and independently regardless of what has happened in the past. To save retyping in the password each time, the browser remembers it.

BTW when accessed over the web, Web Companion only authenticates the password, the userid is ignored and it can even be left blank.

ok, thanks anyway. m.
