Security concern: auto log off?
Is there an auto log offon the system side after an extended period of no activity, or when a user fails to log out before closing the browser?
My company has some shared workstations and we've had users be able to access via other individual's identities when only the browser has been closed ... and, yes, we've told them to log out but they probably didn't listen to their mothers either.

Inappropriate?I don't think we have anything like this in place, but it's a great idea.
If your users have been checking the "remember me" box, or ask the browser to remember the password, then closing the browser's not going to be much of a help.
I know telling people to log out is a hard thing to get ingrained, but maybe clearing out the cookies on the browsers, telling them not to remember password by default, and making sure people don't use the "Remember Me" function would be a good place to start on your end in making your wiki more secure.
I'll ask about this feature, though, it seems like something that would be very smart to have. Thanks for the feedback!
