SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The directive allows Interchange to save users' authentication info (username/password) in a cookie. Cookie expiration time is set by SaveExpire and is renewed each time they log in.

If the login and password information can be read from a cookie, then users can be logged in to the site automatically as they visit it.

DIRECTIVE TYPE AND DEFAULT VALUE

Catalog directive

EXAMPLES

CookieLogin 1

NOTES

To cause the cookie to be generated originally, mv_cookie_password and/or mv_cookie_username must be set to a true value. The former causes both username and password to be saved; the latter just the username.

For a complete discussion on cookies, see cookie glossary entry.

AVAILABILITY

CookieLogin is available in Interchange versions:

4.6.0-5.9.0 (git-head)

SOURCE

  return 1;
}
elsif (m/^n/i || m/^f/i || m/^0/ || m/^of/i) {
