Disconnecting Inactive Users
If you're running IWP without FileMaker Server Advanced, you're limited to only five connections at a time. That limitation can make it pretty frustrating when a user logs into the database, then walks away for a cup of java and a chat with the person in the next cubicle. Even worse is when the user thinks that he has disconnected because he closes his browser, but hasn't clicked the log out button in the status area. FileMaker thinks that there is still a live connection. To address these frustrations, you can set a short idle time before the user is disconnected.
To restrict user idle time
1 .Choose Edit (FileMaker Pro in Mac OS X) > Sharing > Instant Web Publishing.2 .In the Instant Web Publishing dialog box, click the Advanced Options Specify button.3 .In the Session management section, set a time in minutes to disconnect an inactive user (Figure 17.27). Click OK twice to finish.
Figure 17.27. The more users who need to access your database, the shorter the idle time.
