Authentication expiration time

[rtconner]

Hello, I'm new to DJango, but have used other frameworks.

(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/)
I love the fairly complete docs on authentication. I had one question
which did not get answered. Is there any concept of login expiration
time implemented in the builting authentication? Perhaps log a user
out after 30 minutes of inactivity. And what about setting cookies to
remember a user for the next time they open their browser, is this
handled by the authentication?

Thanks, DJango looks nice. I'm excited about digging in.

        You can control cookie expiration by setting SESSION_COOKIE_AGE. Default value is 2 week (1209600 seconds). You can try 'remember' user login by closing browser without clicking 'Log out' button. Nex time your visite that page, you can access it without re-login.

 

        For security reason, you can set cookie to 'SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE' to True.

That works, but it changes the behavior of all cookies set in the
site.
What if I need to have different expiration times for different
cookies, or if I have to offer the user an option on how long the
cookies' kept?

What about the "log user out after 30 minutes" part of my quesiton?
