similar to: The session used in Login-Engine & autologin

I just installed Centos (version 4.4) and wondering how I can change things so I don't have to login. I am aware of the security implications for doing this but I would prefer this if I can do it. I believe it has something to do with autologin and if so how is this configured ?? --- Ted Gervais, Coldbrook, Nova Scotia, Canada

Hello, in the assumption that I understand them correctly I specified in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf autologin-user=xxxx autologin-user-timeout=10 so that after 10 seconds the user xxxx is logged-in automatically. What happens is that the user xxxx is logged-in immediately i.e. without any delay. Do I understand the second variable wrong or am I missing something? Thanks for any help. K.D.J.

I''ve installed and configured my app according to the instructions of the README file. When I try to start WebBrick i get the following error: ./script/../config/../config/environment.rb:55: undefined method `config'' for LoginEngine:Module (NoMethodError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'' from

Many of you probably know the ''depot'' app from the ''Agile Rails development'' book. When the view changes from ''Store'' to ''display_cart,'' a session containing the shopping-cart (:cart) is supposed maintain the ''cart'' between calls, but when the display_cart stub view shows up, I have always ZERO elements

Hi, I am starting coding in r and one of the things that i want to do is to scrape some data from the web. The problem that I am having is that I cannot get passed the disclaimer page (which produces a session cookie). I have been able to collect some ideas and combine them in the code below but I dont get passed the disclaimer page. I am trying to agree the disclaimer with the postForm and write

How do you enable auto-login? I went into /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, uncommented autologin-user (and set it to = my login name), and uncommented autologin-user-timeout (and set it to = 0). Is there something else I missed? -- Jason Hsu <jhsu802701 at jasonhsu.com>

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 session cookie secure flag to true. I added the following to my environments/production.rb ActionController::Base.session_options[:secure] = true In the production mode I don''t see the set-cookie header in the server response (I''m using the Tamper Data Firefox tool to view the traffic). I tried removing all cookies, manually setting the domain

hi, i''m just starting to work with this incredible tool... but i got a first problem with the login process i''m logging on my app like this : ------ @agent = WWW::Mechanize.new { |a| a.log = Logger.new("mech.log") } @agent.user_agent_alias = ''Mac Safari'' @page = @agent.get("http://myappAdress/") @form = @page.forms.first

I''ve been Googling this question for the past few hours, and I think it''s time I simply ask this question myself. I just made the switch from Rails 3.2 to Rails 4. I''m trying to make sure I''m as up-to-speed as possible on security issues, and I''m concerned about sessions right now. It looks like Rails 4 has moved away from supporting really

I am running RAILS 1.2.6 with apache balancing between a cluster of mongrel processes. It appears that intermittently the server is not receiving the session cookie from the browser for certain users. Wondering what situations could cause this... I know one is if the user has cookies turned off. Are there other situations where this could arise? The net effect is that users experiencing this

I am running 5.3 on x86_64. I have it set to auto login X11 by editing the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file. Seems like it does NOT always auto login. Seems like maybe 75% of the time it does but then sometimes it doesnt. How can I find out why it doesnt always login? when it doesnt I dont see anything in dmesg or /var/log/messages. Any thoughts are appreciated. Jerry

Hello, I am working on system that use systemd.

I''m having a problem switching from cookie sessions (the default) to active record sessions. I''ve created the sessions table via the rake task, uncommented the line config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store in my environment.rb file, cleared out my browsers cookies, restarted the server (natch), but still the it''s using cookie_store instead of

sorry - hope this question is not tooo silly, but i needed to "autologin" to a remote machine found out that this works fine for me: sftp -opassword=PASSWORD USER at 192.168.1.1 << EOF cd ANYDIRECTORY get ANYFILE bye EOF why isn't this (sftp -opassword=SECRET USER at 192.168.1.1), setting the password with -opassword=PASSWORD, documentated anywhere? bug or feature? kind

A Rails 2.3.9 app with Active Record or Memcache session store will never send the session ID cookie to a client if the client doesn''t send any HTTP cookies in its requests. Rails integration tests didn''t catch this because they always send the HTTP_COOKIE header, even if it''s empty. This is a huge bug, as it can break keeping sessions on sites which don''t set

Hello Campers! Is it just me or does Camping init the session twice on a redirect? If I have an app and when the user visits it for the first time, a session is generated. Afterwards I redirect the user in a service (that basically does auth) and he gets bounced to the login page - but when I arrive at the login page my SID somehow has changed :-( so there is a stale session dangling
