You can tweak out the sessions to enable the system to remember the person, or you could enable a custom mechanism in your code to store some identifying information in a cookie, and then check that cookie when they hit your site.
We did a little of this to remember the user name that logged in after a session expired, but we didn't really work through all the "partial login" sort of functionality that you see on some sites - the kind where you're accepted for who you say you are for a bit (like viewing), but when it comes time to do something "heavy", your authentication is verified... Since cookies are pretty inherently insecure and easy to "snatch", we decided against doing anything heavy there. -joe On 12/26/06, Vadim Macagon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to implement the "Remember Me" check-box on my login page, oddly enough I haven't managed to find any code snippets for this seemingly common functionality. It seems to me that right now the only way to change the lifetime of sessions is by changing django.conf.settings.SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE, however that affects all users, which is not what I want here. Am I missing some obvious solution to this? I could probably write a new middleware class to replace SessionMiddleware, with the only difference being the process_response() method that would use a new request.SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE setting and if that wasn't set default to using django.conf.setting.SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE. That way you could theoretically change the lifetime of an individual session per response without affecting any other sessions. However this seems like the sort of thing that should be handled right out of the box by the current SessionMiddleware. -+ enlight +- >
