Module Authlogic::Session::Timeout
In: lib/authlogic/session/timeout.rb

Think about financial websites, if you are inactive for a certain period of time you will be asked to log back in on your next request. You can do this with Authlogic easily, there are 2 parts to this:

  1. Define the timeout threshold:
  acts_as_authentic do |c|
    c.logged_in_timeout = 10.minutes # default is 10.minutes
  end
  1. Enable logging out on timeouts
  class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
    logout_on_timeout true # default if false
  end

This will require a user to log back in if they are inactive for more than 10 minutes. In order for this feature to be used you must have a last_request_at datetime column in your table for whatever model you are authenticating with.
