Restful authentication / acts_as_authenticated does this by using a database field and setting a cookie. Perhaps you could take a look at the source code of that. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks for your response Ryan.. I found one another and easy way for
doing same without getting start time for sessions.
For doing session timeout after some idle time we can go with below
thing.
1) Define below filter and methods in application.rb file.
before_filter :update_activity_time, :except => :session_expiry
def update_activity_time
session[:expires_at] = 10.minutes.from_now
end
def session_expiry
@time_left = (session[:expires_at] - Time.now).to_i
unless @time_left > 0
reset_session
render update do |page|
page.redirect_to path for login page
end
end
2) Add below remote periodic call to the layout.
<%= periodically_call_remote :url => {
:action => '' session_expiry'' },
:update => '' '' %>
Thats Done !!

In case it matters, periodically_call_remote *requires* javascript... so if a user disables JS, your example doesn''t work unless you do that expiry check before every request as well.
