Logoff Cleanup

Logoff Cleanup is used to close any open programs when the user logs out of eXactACCESS. Programs closed by Logoff Cleanup are not closed gracefully and no work will be saved.

Configure eXactACCESS to Run Logoff Cleanup

To configure Logoff Cleanup to run when eXactACCESS closes:

Registry Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\eXactACCESS\notification

Registry Value

STRING     Name: logoffCleanup.clsEventNotify     Data: (leave blank) 

Windows Applications

For an application to be closed by Logoff Cleanup, create a subkey under the \WatchList\ key named for the application’s .exe.

Registry Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\eXactACCESS\LogoffCleanup Settings\WatchList

Example

To close MS Word, create the subkey:

WINWORD.EXE

Optional Value

If you need an application to close and suppress all prompts, add the following value to the application's registry key:

STRING     Name: Force     Data: (leave blank)  

Internet Browsers

Internet Explorer

To close all opened Internet Explorer windows, add the following registry key and value.

Registry Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\eXactACCESS\LogoffCleanup Settings\InternetExplorer

Registry Path

STRING     Name: CloseIEBrowser     Data: True 

URL Exclusions

If you wish to exclude certain URLs, you can do so by adding string values named for the URLs you wish to exclude.

Registry Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\eXactACCESS\LogoffCleanup Settings\InternetExplorer\ExcludedURLs

Registry Value

STRING     Name: name     Data: data 

Other Browsers

Behavior changes can be configured for SnapApp browsers other than Internet Explorer.

URL Exclusions

Registry Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\ExactAccess\SnapAPP Settings\ExcludedURLs

Enable Popups

Enable Popups will prompt the user for confirmation before saving credentials for the URL it's created for. If the URL does not exist in this location, the credentials are automatically saved without prompting the user to confirm saving them.

Registry Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\ExactAccess\SnapAPP Settings\IncludePopupUrls

Registry Value

STRING     Name: URL     Data: (leave blank) 

Logoff Scripts

Logoff Cleanup supports launching command shell associated scripts (i.e. .bat, .vbs, .ps1) or an executable for added flexibility. Logoff Cleanup uses the TaskKill command to terminate applications during logoff. If this command is not available, not all of the configured applications may close.

To launch a script on logoff, create a subkey under the \LogoffScript\ key named for the script file.

Registry Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\eXactACCESS\LogoffCleanup Settings\LogoffScript

Subkey

1. Create a subkey under the LogoffScript key named for the script file (ex. MyShutdownScript.bat).
2. Add a REG_SZ value to the subkey named Path:

   STRING     Name: Path     Data: (absolute path to the script) 
   

Optional Value

If there are command line arguments to pass to the script, add the following value to the key that contains the parameters to pass to the script.

STRING     Name: Param     Data: parameters 

Windows PowerShell Scripts

Windows 10 sets the default app for ps1 files to Notepad as a security precaution. The following example runs the script by passing the script name as a parameter, rather than opening myScript.ps1 in Notepad.

Registry Path

1. Create a new subkey under \LogoffScript\ called powershell.exe.

2. Add a REG_SZ value named "Path" to the powershell.exe subkey with the following value:

   C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ 
   

   
   

3. Add a REG_SZ value named "Param" to the subkey with the following value:

   -executionPolicy bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -file "C:\Program Files (x86)\HealthCast\ExactAccess\wrappers\xaLogoffCleanup\MyScript.ps1"
