Products.BeakerSessionDataManager 2.1

Installation

1. Add the Products.BeakerSessionDataManager egg to your buildout:

   [instance]
   eggs =
       Products.BeakerSessionDataManager

2. Make sure that buildout adds Beaker configuration to zope.conf. For example:

   zope-conf-additional =
       <product-config beaker>
           session.type            file
           session.data_dir        ${buildout:directory}/var/sessions/data
           session.lock_dir        ${buildout:directory}/var/sessions/lock
           session.key             beaker.session
           session.secret          secret
       </product-config>

   The “secret” should be replaced with a unique string for your system. It must be the same for all Zope instances using the same session store.

   See the collective.beaker docs for more details on configuration.

3. In the ZMI, delete the session_data_manager object and add a Beaker Session Data Manager.

Notes

• Beaker does not automatically clean up old sessions, so you may want to set up a cron job to take care of this.
