[Feature] : Manage session timeout

[nicosomb]

👍 :)

I think timeout is a little bit short. I want to use Kanboard all day long, and I have to reconnect myself several times.

I added a "RememberMe" feature in the branch master.

Thanks.

Hi Frédéric, I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to work - there is no option in kanboard git master to set the expiration delay. Like @nicosomb, I want to keep the thing open all day, and yet I still need to re-authenticate (I'm using Google authentication, if that changes anything) multiple times per day. Could this ticket be reopened?

(I'm using Google authentication, if that changes anything)

I'm guessing it's every 2 hours? Because as far as I can tell, the Remember Me function is the only one that sets a custom max-age of 60 days on its cookie /app/Auth/RememberMe.php#L37. Everyone else seems to use the default session time of 2 hours /app/Core/Session.php#L18. You could try changing that to the same value of 5184000, relog and wait 2 hours.

It certainly reports a much later expiration date under Settings

And so does the Google Chrome developer thingy

Haven't tested it yet thou 😕

Well if "persistent connections" is meant to represent the connections that don't need to re-login, that's interesting... because in my case (with a google auth) there is nothing listed under "Persistent connections".

There is currently a bug about the session timeout. It will be fixed on the ticket #217. I didn't got enough time to fix that yet, should be done soon.
