Shutting Down Web Client

Check out this technote in the Aveva Knowledge base:

TN000029114 How Can I Monitor And Remotely Disconnect Web Clients?

(sorry, the forum keeps deleting the technote link)

and this toolbox tool: WebClient Timeout Application

Hi Eric,

I have had in issue with IE when the ShutdownLocal() function is called.

A popup is shown where the user must select "Allow" or "Don't Allow".  IE will only shutdown if  "Allow" is selected, therefore automatic shutdown of the Web Client is not performed.

If the Web Client is shutdown, IE then automatically restarts the Web Client.  The following message is displayed:

"A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab."

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks.

If you can't change the IE protection settings, then how about just playing a Ding sound every few minutes with a popup message asking them to close the client if it's no longer needed so others can use it?
