django connexion session time

  1. Open your Django project's settings.py file.

  2. Locate the SESSION_ENGINE setting and ensure it is set to 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.db' for database-backed sessions.

  3. Set the SESSION_COOKIE_AGE setting to the desired session duration in seconds. For example, to set a session duration of 1 hour, use SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 3600.

  4. Optionally, set the SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST setting to True if you want to update the session expiration each time a request is made.

  5. Save the changes to the settings.py file.

  6. Open your Django app's views.py file.

  7. Use the django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware middleware in your Django app's middleware settings. Ensure it comes before django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware.

  8. Save the changes to the views.py file.

  9. Run the Django development server or deploy your application to apply the changes.

  10. Verify the session duration by checking the expiration time of the session cookie in your browser's developer tools.
