| Issue 2630: | Session expiration should slide | |
| 2 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
Affected Version: 2.8.4 and lower What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set up gerrit with basic http authentication 2. Use gerrit for a long time or leave it over night, whatever floats your boat. 3. Visit a page and not it is still working and you don't need to re-authenticate. 4. Attempt to comment on a review What is the expected output? I should not receive a message informing me to log back in when I have performed an action on the site in the last N minutes. The cookie expiration date should be adjusted to slide forward when requests are made and basic HTTP authentication is used. What do you see instead? I receive a message indicating my session has expired and that I should log in again. Since the authentication is set to basic, I refresh, and then the expiration date is updated. But my attempt to comment is lost and the flow is interrupted, which is unnecessary and confusing.

Looking at this code (while investigating Issue 2414 ) led me to find that in current master, a new session cookie is sent when less than half of the expiration time is remaining. Is this still occurring?

I haven't seen this issue in a while, but it was not frequent to start with. It may be resolved.

I've tested this while investigating Issue 2414 , and found that sessions will indeed renew at their half-life.
