search for: session_expired

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and web development. I just bought up the Agile book and I''ve got a question about the :session_expires option. In the book, page 317, it says the :session_expires "option should probably not be used." Does anyone know why? The book doesn''t explain or give any indication as to why. In an application I''m working on

from the Agile Book, i see i can set the absolute session expiry time via: ActionController::CGIRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:session_expires] however, I don''t see anything about what the actual default setting is when a session is created. also, is there a way to set the expiration to happen when the browser is closed? in PHP, this can be accomplished using

I have a simple Rails app that I am close to deploying on our intranet. The security model is "either you are an admin or your are not," with the method of implementing this model being done by the login_generator 1.1.0. There is one account set up, ''admin'', with three of us having the ability to logon with this username (i.e. we know the password). I am looking to

There''s got to be a simple answer to this... def logout reset_session flash[:notice] = "Logged out" redirect_to :action => ''index'' end The flash never shows up, and doesn''t seem to be in the new session. --Al Evans -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

According to the Rails book, the session object has an attribute called :session_expires, but they don''t encourage its use. Currently I handle session expiry by using a cron job to delete session files that have not been modified in the last X minutes (it is a design/security requirement for this project that sessions expire after a finite period of inactivity). However, this is a

I''ve been looking around for how to store the session ID in a cookie. The "Agile Web Development with Rails" books seems to indicate that this is done by default with Rails. But I don''t see a cookie being set in my browser. (yeah, they''re enabled) I poked through the RForum code to find something referencing "cookies" but nothing came up. Does

I''m trying to set the cookie expiration in my environment.rb file but I keep getting a syntax error on WeBRICK startup. I''m trying both of the ways listed in http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoChangeSessionOptions. FYI I''m new to rails so this is probably easy. 1) ActionController::Base.session_options[:session_expires] = Time.local(2008,"jan"))

How do I keep the Rails session from expiring when the browser exits? I would ideally like the user to be logged for a few days (e.g. 2 weeks). Do I use the Rails "session" or "cookies"? Also, my understanding is that session[:session_expires] doesn''t work. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

How do I display, in breakpointer for example, session.session_key or session.session_expires ?? The only one that works is session.session_id for some reason. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I need to effectively log a user out if their session is inactive for more than a short period of time, like 5 minutes. I need some help understanding how to approach session expiration and cleanup in Rails. When the user explicitly logs out of my app, I delete all the data they''ve entered/that''s been created during their session. The data includes files, database records, and

hello, I am trying to implement a "remember be" box for logins, however I cant seem to get it to work. I have tried the following 2 methods but neither seem to work.
