Issue 781: Remember Me doesn't remember me
Status:  WontFix
Owner: ----
Closed:  May 2011
Reported by dob...@gmail.com, Nov 23, 2010
Affected Version:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login, check the "Remember Me" box
2. The next day, open Gerrit
3. If pre-fills your OpenID but you have to log in again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected to already be logged in from the prior day.  Typically a "remember me" checkbox lasts at least a month.

Please provide any additional information below.

This is mostly an issue when I receive an email from Gerrit notifying me of something.  When I click the link I am not logged in so the link doesn't work because I don't have access.

As far as I know the default timeout for web sessions is 12 hours. You may increase this timeout in etc/gerrit.config by setting the maxAge parameter for the web_sessions cache [1], e.g. for 1 week:

[cache "web_sessions"]
	maxAge = 1 w

Yes, you are right, I'll give it a try.

Thank you!

Since this is server-specific policy I'm closing this.
