Logging Out of a Siebel Application

Siebel application users can end a Siebel session by using the Siebel application log out features or by closing the browser window.

If you select the Siebel application Log Out menu option, you are logged out of the Siebel application and the user session is ended immediately. Alternatively, you can close the browser window to end the Siebel session. The effect of closing the browser window differs depending on the mode in which your Siebel application runs:

• If you are using Siebel Business Applications with a Siebel Open UI client or with a standard-interactivity client, clicking the X box in the top-right corner of the application window closes the window but does not terminate the Siebel user session until the session timeout is reached.

  The value of the session timeout is determined by the SessionTimeout parameter in the eapps.cfg file on the SWSE. For more information about this parameter, see About Parameters in the eapps.cfg File.

• If you are using Siebel Business Applications with a high-interactivity client, closing the browser window by clicking the X box in the top-right corner of the application window causes the Siebel user to be logged out of the Siebel application and ends the user session.
