Login and Logout

You use the Login button to log in and you use the Logout button to log out.

When you log in, the AccuRev Web UI begins a session. Sessions expire after a period of inactivity. A session can expire when:

• The web server times out.
• The AccuRev Server times out

When a session expires, there is no immediate visible indication in the AccuRev Web UI. However, the next time you attempt to access AccuRev data, an error message appears. The content of this message depends on whether the web server or the AccuRev Server has timed out:

• If the web server has timed out, a message similar to the following appears: Your session has expired. Click Ok to log in and continue. You may need to use the Web UI's Refresh command to update any open tabs.
• If the AccuRev Server has timed out, the error message warns you that "authentication" has failed.

In either case, when you click Ok to respond to the message, AccuRev displays the Login to AccuRev Server dialog box so that you can continue your session.

The default time out values for these sessions can be configured by your system administrator. (See Changing the Default Tomcat Session Length and Changing the Default AccuRev Session Length in the AccuRev Web Interface Administrator’s Guide.) However, you can avoid the default web server time out by selecting the Remember my login on this computer checkbox the next time you log in.
