登录passportjs后如何设置会话超时？

Question

I want to set a session timeout after log in using passportjs. How to set the maxAge for the session using passportjs. What is the default max age for the session that passportjs provide?

Answer 1

That is handled via Connect's session middleware, so for example:

.use(connect.session({ secret: 'keyboard cat', cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }}))

The documentation has other useful bits that are worth reading for understanding session handling.

Answer 2

You need to set the lifetime of the session cookie for express.session like the following example:

app.use(express.session({
             secret : 'your_cookie_secret',
             cookie:{_expires : 60000000}, // time im ms
             })
        ); 

For testing I recommend a shorter expires time.

Answer 3

Error: Most middleware (like session) is no longer bundled with Express and must be installed separately. Please see https://github.com/senchalabs/connect#middleware .

Got this using latest node toolchain... so this may not work anymore.
