Enabling Secure Browser Window

Describes how to enable secure browsing in a browser tab or browser window by enabling forced logout of a user on closing the browser tab or window.

As a standard web browser behavior, the user session details of a web application are preserved by web browser, when a user closes the browser tab/window without logging out of a Data Fabric web application (Data Fabric UI, Object Store UI, Control System). Therefore, when the user revisits the same web application next time, user doesn't need to re-login to the web application.

The standard browser behavior applies to the Data Fabric web UI applications, too.

For security reasons, you can enable a forced logout from a Data Fabric web UI application, when user closes the web browser tab or window without logging out of the application.

ATTENTION
If forced logout is enabled for the Data Fabric web UI applications, refreshing of the Data Fabric web UI application page triggers a forced logout from the application.

To enable forced logout, set the dfui.security.securedtabwindow to true in the Data Fabric configuration. Default is false.

See config for more information and config save for an example.
