similar to: graceful session expiry?

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

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/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

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

Hi, I have a scenario where a doctor can have one or more specialties. For each doctor, one and only one of her specialties can be designated as primary. So I have tables called doctors, specialties, and doctors_specialties, the last of which has a boolean is_primary column. The doctor model class specifies that: has_and_belongs_to_many :specialties I want to enforce, at the lowest possible

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''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

Here is a "ruby script/console" session verbatim which will explain the problem. Bear in mind that nothing is changing the database behind the scenes at any time. topics is a has_many relationship of Sponsor. >> s = Sponsor.find(3) => #<Sponsor:0x22fd804 @attributes={... >> s.topics.size => 1 >> l = s.topics => [#<Topic:0x22d3fa4 @attributes={...

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 working with a legacy database that does not always follow the conventions for table names, primary key and foreign key column names, and join table names. This is no problem in my application code because Rails allows me to override the defaults. However it is making unit testing next to impossible because fixtures will still try and insert data into the wrong tables. Changing the

How do I display, in breakpointer for example, session.session_key or session.session_expires ??

Dear friends, Is there an easy way of commenting out a block of R code after it has been written? (I am aware that R-aware editors can insert # line-by-line while it is being written, but I want to basically block out chunks of R code in a few strokes.) This question was asked on this mailing list some time ago: Professor Ripley's answer was to try the following:
