SessionTimeoutMiddleware

✓ from django_session_timeout import SessionTimeoutMiddleware

✗ from django_session_timeout import SessionTimeoutMiddleware

Add SessionTimeoutMiddleware after AuthenticationMiddleware and set SESSION_EXPIRE_SECONDS in settings.

from django_session_timeout import SessionTimeoutMiddleware MIDDLEWARE = [ # ... 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django_session_timeout.middleware.SessionTimeoutMiddleware', # ... ] # settings.py SESSION_EXPIRE_SECONDS = 3600 # 1 hour SESSION_TIMEOUT_REDIRECT = '/login/' # optional, default '/accounts/login/'

Debug

Known issues

breakingorder of middleware matters: SessionTimeoutMiddleware must be placed after AuthenticationMiddleware and SessionMiddleware.

fix

Ensure your MIDDLEWARE list has 'django_session_timeout.middleware.SessionTimeoutMiddleware' after 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware' and 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware'.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaSESSION_EXPIRE_SECONDS is required, but no default is provided. If not set, all sessions may expire immediately or cause unexpected behavior.

fix

Explicitly set SESSION_EXPIRE_SECONDS in your Django settings, e.g., SESSION_EXPIRE_SECONDS = 1800.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe middleware does not respect Django's SESSION_COOKIE_AGE; it uses its own setting SESSION_EXPIRE_SECONDS.

fix

If you want consistent session timeout, set both SESSION_COOKIE_AGE and SESSION_EXPIRE_SECONDS to the same value.

affects: >=0.1.0
