- the session key is now generated using
- a hash of the uid seeded by the apps secret_key (size: SESSION_KEY_BITS)
- a random token (size: 128 bits)
- the session's creation time (size: 32 bits)
- redis server side sessions are now refreshed after 1/2 the session lifetime
even if not modified
- the cookie is also updated if necessary
This can be used to delete all sessions belonging to a user/login.
For no it just iterates over all sessions.
This could be enhanced by using a prefix for and deleting by prefix.
- call cleanup_sessions on first kvstore access
this allows to run cmdline actions without redis (and makes it faster)
- Allow development using DictStore by setting REDIS_ADDRESS to the empty string in env
- don't sign 64bit random session id as suggested by nextgens
Rate limiting was already redesigned to use Python limits. This
introduced some unexpected behavior, including the fact that only
one criteria is supported per limiter. Docs and setup utility are
updated with this in mind.
Also, the code was made more generic, so limiters can be delivered
for something else than authentication. Authentication-specific
code was moved directly to the authentication routine.
