How can users sign off from VLF-WEB sessions?
You close or sign off a Web browser application in two ways:
- By using a Signoff or Exit VLF command initiated from for example a button.
- By closing the web browser window (for example by Using the red "x" option at the top right of the browser window).
When you use the signoff /exit command option, a message is sent back to the web server indicating that you are signing off. The web server then deletes any temporary files that you have in use.
When you use the "x" option to close the browser window, it is not always possible to send the signoff message back to the web server because your main web browser window is in the process of closing. This behavior depends on the browser you are using. If the message is not sent, any temporary files associated with your session will be left in place until they are purged by the next folder clean up you run.
