    Hello,

    You can update sess_expiration & sess_time_to_update in the app/config/config.php for session and check remember_users, user_expire & user_extend_on_login in the app/config/ion_auth.php for user authentication settings.

    Thank you

    Below are the settings. If the user is idle for more than a day. the users needs to re login. We need so that users who checked “Remenber me” are remember until they decide to log out…

    • app/config/config.php sess_expiration=7200 sess_time_to_update=300

    • app/config/ion_auth.php remember_users=TRUE user_expire=0 user_extend_on_login=FALSE

    Hello,

    Yes, you can set the values as you need.

    'sess_expiration'
    The number of SECONDS you want the session to last.
    Setting to 0 (zero) means expire when the browser is closed.
    
    'sess_time_to_update'
    How many seconds between regenerating the session ID.
    
    'user_extend_on_login'
    Extend the users cookies every time they auto-login
    

    Thank you

    Hello,

    You can calculate the seconds or set 60*60*24*14 for sess_expiration

    Thank you
