[support] Automatic user login

[Metzler, David]

I don't think so although you may have to go through some hoops to kill
cached cookies on IE prior to having this work.  (is it possible that
you hadn't cleaned your IE cookie cache prior to doing the re-test?) I
am not having this problem with IE with these settings. 

Here's the rest of the relavent section of my settings.php scripts in
case there's something that I've forgotten. 

ini_set('arg_separator.output',     '&');
ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime',     0);
ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase',      0);
ini_set('session.cache_expire',     200000);

#Dont remember logins
ini_set('session.cache_limiter',    'nocache');
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',  0);

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',   200000);
ini_set('session.save_handler',     'user');
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid',    0);

Dave,

Thanks very much for the info! It seems that it doesn't work correct in
IE, only in Opera (didn't test FireFox), which means the code is
correct, but IE's bugs prevent it from working. Is there any difference
you know about between the ways these two browsers handle these
settings?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated...

Regards,

Kobus

It's true that auto-password population is controlled by the browser,
but its also true, (at least when I downloaded drupal) that the default
cookie settings would leave a persistant drupal session cookie after you
closed your browser.  So when you opened the browser from the same
workstation and went to the same drupal site you would still be logged
in unless you had explicitly logged out before leaving.   

The resolution is to add the following to you settings file for each
drupal site. 

#Dont remember logins
ini_set('session.cache_limiter',    'nocache');
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',  0);

Is that closer to what you were looking for Kobus?

Dave

Correct me if I'm wrong, but while the auto-fill of the login screen is
browser related, the remaining logged in default for Drupal I believe is
related to the php session settings, which you can change in
/sites/default/settings.php. You can't prevent people from locally
storing their login info, but the logged-in session itself can be set to
expire sooner, or upon closing the window, or both.
