The "Remember me" option is designed to work between different sessions IF you don't logout.
If you don't check the "Remember me" option, the app will send you the regular session cookie, and you will remain logged till you session will expire, i.e. when you explicitly log out OR when you will close the browser. If you check the "Remember me" option, the app will also create the auth_token cookie with an expiration of 15 days, i.e. it will be sent by your browser along with each request. If you don't logout and you close the browser, the session cookie will be deleted BUT the auth_token cookie will not, so the next time you will reopen the browser on the same url app you will be logged in automatically (thanks to the auth_token cookie). If you logout the auth_token cookie (if present) is deleted - and it must be deleted since you explicitly logged out. If it wouldn't be deleted that would be a mayor security problem, because you will not have the possibility to tell your browser to forget your authentication, so anyone using your browser could be logged in without the right to do it. ciao dd On Fri, Apr 15, 2011 at 9:29 AM, Donald R.
