✋ Auto logout a user after specific time in Django

Overview

django-auto-logout

Build Status

Auto logout a user after specific time in Django.

Works with

  • Python 🐍 ≥ 3.7,
  • Django 🌐 ≥ 3.0.

✔️ Installation

pip install django-auto-logout

Append to settings.py middlewares:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # append after default middlewares
    'django_auto_logout.middleware.auto_logout',
]

NOTE

Make sure that the following middlewares are used before doing this:

  • django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware
  • django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware
  • django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware

💤 Logout in case of idle

Logout a user if there are no requests for a long time.

Add to settings.py:

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'IDLE_TIME': 600}  # logout after 10 minutes of downtime

or the same, but with datetime.timedelta (more semantically):

from datetime import timedelta

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'IDLE_TIME': timedelta(minutes=10)}

Limit session time

Logout a user after 3600 seconds (hour) from the last login.

Add to settings.py:

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'SESSION_TIME': 3600}

or the same, but with datetime.timedelta (more semantically):

from datetime import timedelta

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'SESSION_TIME': timedelta(hours=1)}

✉️ Show messages when logging out automatically

Set the message that will be displayed after the user automatically logs out of the system:

AUTO_LOGOUT = {
    'SESSION_TIME': 3600,
    'MESSAGE': 'The session has expired. Please login again to continue.',
}

It uses django.contrib.messages. Don't forget to display messages in templates:

{% for message in messages %}
    <div class="message {{ message.tags }}">
        {{ message }}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

NOTE

messages template variable provides by django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages context processor.

See TEMPLATESOPTIONScontext_processors in your settings.py file.


🌈 Combine configurations

You can combine previous configurations. For example, you may want to logout a user in case of downtime (5 minutes or more) and not allow working within one session for more than half an hour:

from datetime import timedelta

AUTO_LOGOUT = {
    'IDLE_TIME': timedelta(minutes=5),
    'SESSION_TIME': timedelta(minutes=30),
    'MESSAGE': 'The session has expired. Please login again to continue.',
}

    How to Auto-redirect to login page.

    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!

    What I did

    I followed the instructions here:

    Append to settings middleware:

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

    AUTO_LOGOUT = {
        'IDLE_TIME': timedelta(minutes=5),
        'REDIRECT_TO_LOGIN_IMMEDIATELY': True,

    Fix

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

    pip install pytz
