Thanks a lot.
I am using AuthUser.
On the server I tested (Windows 2003, Apache)
ini_get('session.cookie_lifetime') returns nothing.
But when I set the variable with ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',
12345), then it returns 12345.
In php.ini, it is set to 43200.
As ini_get('session.cookie_lifetime') returns initially nothing,
wouldn't it be safer to include in the (farm)config.php)
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', time() +timeout); ?
