Hello all,

The app is great works like a charm, really appreciate your effort, I would like to know is there any way to redirect the user to the login page when the IDLE_TIME is reached.

Right now when the IDLE_TIME is reached the users have to refresh the page to redirect to the LOGIN_URL.

any help really appreciated. Thanks!

When I tried to install and use the django-auto-logout I got an error.

What I did

I followed the instructions here:

Installation

pip install django-auto-logout

Append to settings middleware:

MIDDLEWARE = [
...
    'django_auto_logout.middleware.auto_logout',
]

REDIRECT_TO_LOGIN_IMMEDIATELY after the idle-time has expired

from datetime import timedelta
AUTO_LOGOUT = {
    'IDLE_TIME': timedelta(minutes=5),
    'REDIRECT_TO_LOGIN_IMMEDIATELY': True,
}

The Error

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    raise ImproperlyConfigured(

Fix

Since it clearly says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytz' the fix was easy:

pip install pytz
