in my Sitecore 6.2 Project :
open browser window and login to sitecore content editor
shut down browser window
open browser window again
I have been logged out. I need to login again
But, in my sitecore 7 project, after I shut the browser window and open it again, I dont need to login again. My session is still active.
With the 2 projects, I have the same configuration.
I have tried the Authentication.ClientSessionTimeout and Authentication.SessionTimeout Settings but it didnt help.
Does anyone know what I need to configure in Sitecore 7 so that shutting down browser window causes a logout?
Thanx
I have just tested this with Sitecore 7.0 (Initial Release) using IE9, Chrome (latest) and FireFox (latest).
In all cases, I need to re-login after I completely close my browser.
In what case does it not work for you? (what browser and Sitecore revision)
Are you completely exiting your browser of just closing a tab?
Mind that closing a tab does not end your session.

Context: I have three web browsers installed on my Windows 10 computer which are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Problem: Whichever browser I newly open, they all start with this website:http://007eecfcfedlkh.jumpkj.chuairan.com/index.html
How it happened: I clicked a link on a website yesterday and it automatically downloaded several applications and automatically installed themselves without showing any instructions to install them.
Thing I have tried: I have reset the browser On startup setting to open my homepage, but it still opens with the aforementioned weird URL.
Thing that may help: Opera browser is very considerate cause it has this option regarding the On startup setting, which is Ask me when Opera is started by a shortcut specifying an URL.
Analysis and need your help: Usually, I start a browser by clicking on the shortcut in Windows start menu, or the shortcut in desktop. This worked normally until the problem appeared. According to Thing that may help, this hostile URL must reside somewhere. Where can I find this unwelcoming shortcut on my computer? How come this shortcut can attach itself to every web browser on my computer? What is the next step I can do to resolve this problem? Is this kind of a virus?
Usually when that happens, you'll have to:
reset the browser settings (or at least reset the startup websites on settings)
go to the browser .exe, open it's properties and remove any flags that were added on the path.
I think you shoud uninstall these applications first.
I am currently working with a classic ASP web application. What I'm wondering about is how it knows which browser to launch, I've looked over everything and am unable to find anywhere that it says to Launch Firefox in order to open the application. If i have firefox uninstalled, then it launches Chrome, however, when I hvae both Chrome and Firefox, then Firefox launched even if I have Chrome set as my default browser. Anyone have an idea?
your asp code has no connection whatsoever with what browser is used, it's browser independent. in order for you web app to run, you must open a browser FIRST, then go to the url of your web app, which will then fire off the asp code. It would be a huge security issue if i went to a web site, and it decided to open a different browser on my computer!
if you want to set Chrome as your default browser, follow these instructions:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95417?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
for firefox - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-change-your-default-browser-windows-10
for IE - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17435/windows-internet-explorer-make-default-browser
Your default browser is a different setting than the "open this file type with this program" setting. If double-clicking an .asp file opens in Firefox, then that's the latter type of setting.
To change it, right-click an .asp file, choose the "Open with >" option, then "Choose default program...".
That all said, 99.999% of users will never have occasion to double-click an .asp file, because most of us don't use web servers as our normal everyday computers.
I am using Debian 7 and Chromium browser.
I'm setting up OAuth authentication via google developer console, but for some reason when I enter https://console.developers.google.com, browser starts loading the page, saying "Waiting for console.developers.google.com" and is stuck forever.
Once in ~7 times it eventually loads the page, but then when I click on any tab, it freezes again.
Anyone experienced something like that?
P.S. On Windows everything's fine.
P.P.S The problem is specific for Chromium browser. Chromium also glitches with google+ notifications - they won't load.
you can try loading Google developer console in privacy mode, meaning opening the console from https://cloud.google.com/ in an incognito window.
"If it works there, it means one of your extensions is causing the security problem and you should remove it." as it explained on the Google Chome Help page :'Fix connection errors.' (Your connection is not private > Tip 2: Try opening the page in incognito mode.)
I've got an issue whereby when a user logs into a website using Firefox, it works.
When the user logs in using internet explorer, it doesn't work. I've checked and tried compatibility mode, and that doesn't make any difference.
Does anyone have any idea why when using IE, it would redirect back to the login page, but it doesn't happen on firefox or chrome?
Thoughts?
All I did was reboot the server completely and it started working again.
That was so strange.
I hava a web app running on a local tomcat server.
When the user starts the app (via desktop shortcut) the server starts and the app is opened in a browser window.
But when the user just clicks on the close button to stop the application the server is still running in the background - that's annoying.
I tried to utilize the "unonload" and "onbeforeunload" events from javascript but unfortunately these events are also fired on some other requests in the app.
So I can't use them, except I do a lot of refactoring.
Does anyone have an idea for a possible solution?
Btw, what I find interesting is the behaviour of Visual Studio when debugging a web application. When I close the browser window Visual Studio also gets a trigger to stop debug mode. So it seems it somehow notices the close event of the browser window, which would be exactly what I need. But I don't know how they do it...
Can you wrap the starting of Tomcat and launching your app in a batch file or shell script? (Not sure what your target OS is...)
The script/batch file would start Tomcat and then launch your application. When the user exits your application, the script/batch file would then shut down Tomcat.
You can setup a short session timeout, and use a HttpSessionListener. On sessionDestroyed(..) you can stop tomcat (using catalina.bat for example) .
Otherwise you can try to detect browser close, and send a shutdown message to the server using ajax (before the browser is closed).
