Cookies: Making them last longer than a session

This How-to applies to: Any version.
This How-to is intended for: Site Administrators

This will enable users to remain logged in beyond one browser session.

If a Plone instance is being used as an intranet, repetitive logging in is a barrier to ease-of-use. This can also apply to internet sites. This can be circumvented by allowing the user to remain logged in after they close their browser.

Setting cookie expiration length:

  • Call up the ZMI via http://your_portal_url/manage
  • Go to portal_properties
  • Choose site_properties
  • Alter auth_cookie_length to the number of days you wish to let your users stay logged in for.

That's it. Easy when you know how.
