How to maintain Session

Hi

User should be automatically logout if he/she closes the session without proper steps like closing the browsing without logging out or shut downing the system without logging out or system shutdowns because of power issues.

hi,

I think the only good way to do this is by setting a timeout on the session variables on the server. A web server has no way to know for sure whether a user has closed his browser or not.Javascript is not a good option, since you can disable it client-side.
but you can detect browser closing event when user click on [X] button.

hope this will help you.

your session should time out eventually, but if you want to close the session before the timeout (for example to clean up large session objects) AND have javascript available to you...

You can do this with an window.onbeforeunload handler that posts back to a sign out page.

function CloseSession( )
{
location.href = 'SignOut.aspx';
}
window.onbeforeunload = CloseSession;
You could also do it via AJAX. The SignOut.aspx page (or whatever platform you are using) should abandon the user's session.

you are not required to do anything,
Session values get cleare autoatically when browser closes or system shutdowns

Hope this helped, check this is correct answer if it is.
