persistent login beyond browser close

[Gaku]

Hi there,

I've been using RubyCAS and it is working great. However, I noticed
that I need to authenticate myself every time I start a browser. I'd
like to keep myself logged in for, say, a week.

I believe RubyCAS's authentication state is kept in session cookies
and thus the browser lose the state. Can I somehow copy the
information to persistent cookies to achieve this?

Thanks,

You may be able to do this by setting the maximum_session_lifetime value in the config.yml for your RubyCAS Server.

Set it to the number of seconds you want to user to stay logged in for. So for one week it would be 60 * 60 * 24 * 7

Matt,

Thanks for the reply.

It turned out that it was not RubyCAS specific, but Rails only kept
the session info into a session cookie.

By addling :session_expires to config.action_controller.sesison hash,
I could write session info to a persistent cookie.

config/environment.rb

config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => '_myapp_session',
:secret =>
'.....................................................',
:session_expires => 30.day.from_now
}

Now it works for me!

Thanks,
