Jump to: navigation, search

A login can have an expiration date.

Setting a login expiration

It can be set, much like a file expiration, via a relative date like:

3 days
5 hours
8 weeks

or via an absolute date like:

1/1/2000
12/31/2099 23:59 

A relative date will be converted into an absolute one.


Expiration display on client pages

You can let your clients know that a login eventually will expire.

To position this message you place the HTML keyword

IDXHTML_LOGEXPINFO

in the content HTML configuration. Alternatively you can also use

IDX_LOGINEXPIRATION


The message can be set in the 'content html' configuration, or in the email template.


The format of the message itself can be set via the configuration

line to indicate login expiration IDXHTML_LOGEXPINFO


The default of this message is:

login will expire in IDXHTML_EXPDAYS days


IDXHTML_EXPDAYS will be replaced with the number of days until the expiration of the login.


Alternatively you can communicate the expiration via the

IDXHTML_EXPDATE

keyword. The expiration will be the date on which the login will expire. The format of the date is Month/Day/Year, where the month is being expressed with 3 letters like JAN, FEB etc.
