Description

« Hide

Originally reported in debian bug #303639 I tested a different scenario to the reporer on MOODLE_19_STABLE which also doesn't work:

1/ Set sessiontimeout to 5mins
2/ Logout and log back in again and click around a few pages
3/ Leave the page for 10mins
4/ Attempt to follow a new link on site:

Expected result:
User session times out and is force to log back in again.

Actual result:
User is kept logged in and session is sitll active

We do not have any control over session file cleanup, sorry.
There will be a new database session code in 2.0

As a workaround you may set gc probability close to 1 on sites will low number of hits.

should work now 100% correctly if using db sessions - the timeout is now checked when reading session data,
the legacy file based session work the same as before (depends on gc probability and sometimes external session timeout scripts)

thanks for the report
