Authentication cookies

When using the pyramid_cubicweb.auth (CubicWeb AuthTkt authentication policy), which is the default in most cases, you may have to configure the behaviour of these authentication policies using standard’s Pyramid configuration. You may want to configure in your pyramid.ini:

Session Authentication:

This is a AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy so you may overwrite default configuration values by adding configuration entries using the prefix cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session. Default values are:

cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.hashalg = sha512
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.cookie_name = auth_tkt
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.timeout = 1200
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.reissue_time = 120
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.http_only = True
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secure = True

Persistent Authentication:

This is also a AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy. It is used when persistent sessions are activated (typically when using the cubicweb-rememberme cube). You may overwrite default configuration values by adding configuration entries using the prefix cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent. Default values are:

cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.hashalg = sha512
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.cookie_name = pauth_tkt
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.max_age = 3600*24*30
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.reissue_time = 3600*24
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.http_only = True
cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secure = True
