#3 "Remember Me" Not Working?

[Thomas Fotherby]

The login screen has a checkbox that says "Keep me
logged in on this machine". This doesn't seem to work for
me.

If I come back from a 30 minute break and try to do
something, ackertodo will ask me to log back in again.
and after login, it'll take me to a show tasks view with all
categories selected rather than what I had before.

session.inc has the following line:
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', '7776000');
7776000 seconds is supposed to be 90 days?

I'm using ackertodo 2.0 installed on Debian Sarge with
Apache2 and Opera 8.0 as a browser.

I think the problem with this may have been how I was trying
to add /ackertodo onto the end of the default sessions
directory. I've changed this in v2.2 and it should work fine
now.

The "Keep me logged in on this machine" checkbox on the
logon screen still doesn't work for me. i.e. It doesn't
remember me any longer than if the checkbox wasn't ticked.

On a side note, When firefox asks whether you want to
"remember the password" it remembers the login and password
but not the "Keep me logged in on this machine" checkbox
setting!

tfotherby,

What are your cookie settings for that web server? Perhaps
you are using 'Allow for Session', which may break session
handling when you have been inactive for a while (if the
server decides your session has become inactive after a
timeout period).

ndazza,

Thanks for the tip but I looked around my apache2 settings
and didn't find anything to do with cookies. (Aren't cookies
a browser thing?)

Any idea what files I should look in other than apache2.conf
and 000-default. I haven't really made many changes from the
defaults so is there anything special you did to make it work?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry, that was badly worded. What I meant was, perhaps your
web browser is destroying the cookie when you close the web
site. If using firefox, check your cookie settings (under
options->privacy) and view the list of exceptions. If your
web server is listed as "allow for session" or "blocked",
maybe that is what's causing your problem (I could be wrong,
I'm not sure how 'Keep me logged in' is implemented :)

Cheers!

Darren

My browser settings are fine and other websites manage to
remember me so it is definetly a problem with ackertodo or
my installation of ackertodo. I guess if no one else has a
problem then it must be a problem with my set up.
I wanted to post a message on this forum to see if anyone
else had the same thing?
Feel free to mark this as "invalid" now.

I have the same problem. Running ackertodo 3.8 on my local
machine (apache2 on Ubuntu 6.06), and it neither remembers
me nor keeps me logged in. It didn't work with v3.6 either.

I don't have this problem with any other sites, even ones
running locally.

If this is still a bug, please reopen. I'm just trying to
clean up some bugs that aren't existent anymore.

Thanks,

This still occurs for me using Ackertodo 4.2 on Ubuntu
Dapper Drake with Apache2.
