Session framework improvements

The following tickets are related to sessions

Some of the tickets are interrelated, some of them pose security risks.

See also the discussion at http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/fbcfa88c997d1bb3 and http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/8cb4edee0db52197 .

Other projects to draw inspiration from: Beaker.

Proposal

The following is required from the session framework:

  • no session key collisions on creation (#1180)
  • there is a method for clearing session data (#7515)
  • session data is not shared between different users (#6941), session is cleared on logout; if user A was logged in when user B logins, session will be cleared on login as well (but not anonymous session data) -- depends on previous
  • DONE: supports controlling session lifetime (comment:ticket:2548:9 describes the use case)
Note: See TracWiki for help on using the wiki.
