Overview

django-auto-logout

Auto logout a user after specific time in Django.

Works with

Python 🐍 ≥ 3.7,
Django 🌐 ≥ 3.0.

✔️ Installation

pip install django-auto-logout

Append to settings.py middlewares:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # append after default middlewares
    'django_auto_logout.middleware.auto_logout',
]

NOTE

Make sure that the following middlewares are used before doing this:

django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware
django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware
django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware

💤 Logout in case of idle

Logout a user if there are no requests for a long time.

Add to settings.py:

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'IDLE_TIME': 600}  # logout after 10 minutes of downtime

or the same, but with datetime.timedelta (more semantically):

from datetime import timedelta

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'IDLE_TIME': timedelta(minutes=10)}

⌛ Limit session time

Logout a user after 3600 seconds (hour) from the last login.

Add to settings.py:

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'SESSION_TIME': 3600}

or the same, but with datetime.timedelta (more semantically):

from datetime import timedelta

AUTO_LOGOUT = {'SESSION_TIME': timedelta(hours=1)}

✉️ Show messages when logging out automatically

Set the message that will be displayed after the user automatically logs out of the system:

AUTO_LOGOUT = {
    'SESSION_TIME': 3600,
    'MESSAGE': 'The session has expired. Please login again to continue.',
}

It uses django.contrib.messages. Don't forget to display messages in templates:

{% for message in messages %}
    <div class="message {{ message.tags }}">
        {{ message }}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

NOTE

messages template variable provides by django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages context processor.

See TEMPLATES → OPTIONS → context_processors in your settings.py file.

🌈 Combine configurations

You can combine previous configurations. For example, you may want to logout a user in case of downtime (5 minutes or more) and not allow working within one session for more than half an hour:

from datetime import timedelta

AUTO_LOGOUT = {
    'IDLE_TIME': timedelta(minutes=5),
    'SESSION_TIME': timedelta(minutes=30),
    'MESSAGE': 'The session has expired. Please login again to continue.',
}

WSGI application 'project.wsgi.application' could not be loaded; Error importing module.

When I tried to install and use the django-auto-logout I got an error.

What I did

I followed the instructions here:

Installation

pip install django-auto-logout

Append to settings middleware:

MIDDLEWARE = [
...
    'django_auto_logout.middleware.auto_logout',
]

REDIRECT_TO_LOGIN_IMMEDIATELY after the idle-time has expired

from datetime import timedelta
AUTO_LOGOUT = {
    'IDLE_TIME': timedelta(minutes=5),
    'REDIRECT_TO_LOGIN_IMMEDIATELY': True,
}

The Error

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    self.run()
  File "[SOME PATH]\threading.py", line 953, in run

    raise ImproperlyConfigured(
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: WSGI application '[My Project].wsgi.application' could not be loaded; Error importing module.

Fix

Since it clearly says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytz' the fix was easy:

pip install pytz
