While working in the umbraco backend, occasionally I start getting the locked screen every few seconds. I have tried making extra user accounts and every developer working on the project logging in through separate accounts (instead of all working on the same admin account), but it's no help.
Anybody knows what could be causing this, and/or is there a way to completely disable the lock screen?
"Now! Now! Have no fear. Have no fear!" said the cat."
There is a package called Disable BackOffice Timeout specifcally for Umbraco v4.7.0 (only!) If/when you upgrade to a newer version, remember to uninstall that package first. (No worries if you don't, otherwise you'll just need to remove the "Our.Umbraco.DisableTimeout.dll" manually from the /bin folder)
@Lee: Although the screen locks up, it's not really "a timeout". I'm constantly behind the computer and the screen occassionally locks up about every 20 seconds.
The package is a bit of a hack - it doesn't disable the timeout exactly, it literally comments out 1-line of JavaScript that makes the AJAX call to the server checking your timeout status ... so ultimately the timeout would still occur, but only when you reload the entire screen.
As for getting the lock screen every 20 seconds, it sounds like something else is going on - some questions:
* In your Web.config, what is the value for "umbracoTimeOutInMinutes"? (Default is 20 ... try up'ing this to 200?)
* Could any one else be logging in with the same user/account? As the timeout/logout status is written to the database, there could be some conflict? (that's a guess)
* If you are using Chrome/Firefox, open up a dev console, monitor the AJAX requests, see if they are returning any 500 server errors?

Hi Jan,
This should be disabled by default in 4.7.1. Are you using an older version?
Cheers,
Richard
Hi Richard,
I'm using 4.7.0
Does that mean I'm f***ed ?

Good luck, let us know how you get on.
