Log Out of PacketWise

For security purposes, users should explicitly log out of PacketWise:

• To log out of the browser interface, click the logout button on the Info page.  show screen
• To log out of the command-line interface, type exit.

Logging out discards session content and displays the login page. If a user doesn't explicitly log out, PacketWise will automatically time out after one hour of inactivity (eight hours on the iShaper). When a Packeteer browser session times out, a "timed out" or "unknown session" message appears the next time the user attempts to use PacketWise. When a remote login (such as Telnet) session times out, Packeteer sends a "timed out" message and disconnects. Note that asynchronous sessions do not time out.

You can also use the logout button to change the access level. For example, if you are currently logged in with touch access, you can click the logout button and login with the look password.
