Add the 'pyramid' command to cubicweb-ctl
Project description
Add the ‘pyramid’ command to cubicweb-ctl”.
This cube also add a CWSession entity type so that sessions can be stored in the database, which allows to run a Cubicweb instance without having to set up a session storage (like redis or memcache) solution.
However, for production systems, it is greatly advised to use such a storage solution for the sessions.
The handling of the sessions is made by pyramid (see the pyramid’s documentation on sessions for more details).
For example, to set up a redis based session storage, you need the pyramid-redis-session package, then you must configure pyramid to use this backend, by configuring the pyramid.ini file in the instance’s config directory (near the all-in-one.conf file):
[main] cubicweb.defaults = no # we do not want to load the default cw session handling cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secret = <secret1> cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secret = <secret2> cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secure = yes cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secure = yes redis.sessions.secret = <secret3> redis.sessions.prefix = <my-app>: redis.sessions.url = redis://localhost:6379/0 pyramid.includes = pyramid_redis_sessions pyramid_cubicweb.auth pyramid_cubicweb.login
See the documentation of Pyramid Cubicweb for more details.
Warning
If you want to be able to log in a CubicWeb application served by pyramid on a unsecured stream (typically when you start an instance in dev mode using a simple cubicweb-ctl pyramid -D -linfo myinstance), you must set cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secure to no.
Secrets
There are a number of secrets to configure in pyramid.ini. They should be different one from each other, as explained in Pyramid’s documentation.
For the record:
cubicweb.session.secret: | |
---|---|
This secret is used to encrypt the session’s data ID (data themselved are stored in the backend, database or redis) when using the integrated (CWSession based) session data storage. | |
redis.session.secret: | |
This secret is used to encrypt the session’s data ID (data themselved are stored in the backend, database or redis) when using redis as backend. | |
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secret: | |
This secret is used to encrypt the authentication cookie. | |
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secret: | |
This secret is used to encrypt the persistent authentication cookie. |
