similar to: Session Expiration Problem: How to keep a user logged in for

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

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

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"))

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

Hi, i just found the acts_as_attachment plugin for image upload, seems sogood but i cant find any docs about it, if someone here using it can give some references or working examples about the plugin that will be excellent. So what you wanna rails today? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, I''m experiencing a problem when using pound with Rails. My set up is I have a machine acting as a load balancer running Pound. This listens on port 80 and directs requests with a particular URL to two backend servers both of which are serving my rails app using mongrel cluster on ports 9000,9001 and 9002. There is a problem with sessions even though I am storing the session data

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.

Hi I''m using SWFUpload in one of my applications, but it has one big shortcoming: it doesn''t maintain the session. Let me explain: The user has to login to the application, thus creating an authenticated session (cookie _session_id client side and the sessions table server side). However, when you use SWFUpload, the upload script is called with a new session

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

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

Edge has a change in default behaviour where sessions are stored as cookies instead of in the file system. This was a pleasant surprise when I synced up, fired up my app, and nothing worked. Ah, life on the edge. I''m sure I''m just missing something, but I can''t get sessions to survive the first redirect. I added the following code to environment.rb, based on

Hi folks, I''ve got an older project I''ve used LoginGenerator for. It works pretty well, but lacks password resetting, etc. Now I''ve got a new project for a client that''s going to need login capabilities as well. I''ve been looking at the Salted Login Generator and the Login Engine, and have taken quick stabs at running through the installation

I am using the restful authentication plugin and am always prompted to login if a different subdomain is accessed.
