Summary: Session disappearing causes OpenID login failure Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: any Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: Normal Component: OpenID AssignedTo: sergey.chernys...@gmail.com ReportedBy: craig....@gmail.com It is my understanding that if you tick the "Remember my login on this computer" when you log in normally, your login session should last as long as $wgCookieExpiration (default 30 days). On my wiki, regardless of the length of time my cookie is set for, PHP's garbage collection (or Debian's cron script) will remove PHP sessions older than gc_maxlifetime, which causes the user to need to log in again - by default, after 1 hour. Not popular in my office! It strikes me that there is a dependence on information on the session which would normally be stored in cookies, and there is a bug here - at the very most you should get the MW "Your session has expired" error message if your session were garbage collected. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
