Rails - Oct 2009 - Auto-logout after 15 minutes....

Hi There,

Im going through the ruby on rails tutorial ''Railsspace'' at
the
moment.

There is a :remember_me function that allows a cookie to be set at
login to remember the user. See below:


 if @user.remember_me == "1"
            cookies[:remember_me] = { :value => "cookie name",
            :expires => 2.minutes.from_now }
            user.authorization_token = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(
            "#{user.username}:
            #{user.password}")

  user.save!
            cookies[:authorization_token] = {
                    :value => user.authorization_token,
                    :expires => 2.minutes.from_now }
              else
                  cookies.delete(:remember_me)
                  cookies.delete(:authorization_token)

When i look in safari''s preferences, I can see that the cookie is set.
Agfter the 2 mins, I refresh the web page, and....

 - Safari removes the cookies, but the user still looks logged in.

Is there a way to amend this to ensure that say, after 15 mins, the
user is automatically logged out.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks

Hi,

Use the "session-timeout" plugin.

http://github.com/lukeredpath/session-timeout/

Example:

session_times_out_in 15.minutes, :after_timeout => :do_something

Good luck.
