Member Function Documentation

def Local.Configuration.Site.Sessions.identifier ( )

static

The function used to generate session IDs (the MD5 hash value of the number of seconds since the epoch added to a random fractional variant).

The function returned by this function should ensure a unique session ID; it will be assigned to ASession.identifier, and will become the function used to generate new session IDs when they are required.

Member Data Documentation

int Local.Configuration.Site.Sessions.cleanup = 25

static

The odds of running garbage collection on the sessions table.

A value of 100 (the default) means that, on average, every hundredth session will begin with a purge of expired session records from the table. Since this value is fed to a random number generator, these odds are only approximate.
