defmodule Pow.Plug.Session do @moduledoc """ This plug will handle user authorization using session. The plug will store user and session metadata in the cache store backend. The session metadata has at least an `:inserted_at` and a `:fingerprint` key. The `:inserted_at` value is used to determine if the session has to be renewed, and is set each time a session is created. The `:fingerprint` will be a random unique id and will stay the same if a session is renewed. When a session is renewed the old session is deleted and a new created. You can add additional metadata to sessions by setting or updated the assigned private `:pow_session_metadata` key in the conn. The value has to be a keyword list. The session id used in the client is signed using `Pow.Plug.sign_token/4` to prevent timing attacks. ## Example @pow_config [ repo: MyApp.Repo, user: MyApp.User, current_user_assigns_key: :current_user, session_key: "auth", credentials_cache_store: {Pow.Store.CredentialsCache, ttl: :timer.minutes(30), namespace: "credentials"}, session_ttl_renewal: :timer.minutes(15), cache_store_backend: Pow.Store.Backend.EtsCache, users_context: Pow.Ecto.Users ] # ... plug Plug.Session, @session_options plug Pow.Plug.Session, @pow_config ## Configuration options * `:credentials_cache_store` - see `Pow.Plug.Base`. * `:cache_store_backend` - see `Pow.Plug.Base`. * `:session_key` - session key name, defaults to "auth". If `:otp_app` is used it'll automatically prepend the key with the `:otp_app` value. * `:session_ttl_renewal` - the ttl in milliseconds to trigger renewal of sessions. Defaults to 15 minutes in miliseconds. ## Custom metadata The assigned private `:pow_session_metadata` key in the conn can be populated with custom metadata. This data will be stored in the session metadata when the session is created, and fetched in subsequent requests. Here's an example of how one could add sign in timestamp, IP, and user agent information to the session metadata: def append_to_session_metadata(conn) do client_ip = to_string(:inet_parse.ntoa(conn.remote_ip)) user_agent = get_req_header(conn, "user-agent") metadata = conn.private |> Map.get(:pow_session_metadata, []) |> Keyword.put_new(:first_seen_at, DateTime.utc_now()) |> Keyword.put(:ip, client_ip) |> Keyword.put(:user_agent, user_agent) Plug.Conn.put_private(conn, :pow_session_metadata, metadata) end The `:first_seen_at` will only be set if it doesn't already exist in the session metadata, while `:ip` and `:user_agent` will be updated each time the session is created. The method should be called after `Pow.Plug.Session.call/2` has been called to ensure that the metadata, if any, has been fetched. ## Session expiration `Pow.Store.CredentialsCache` will, by default, invalidate any session token 30 minutes after it has been generated. To keep sessions alive the `:session_ttl_renewal` option is used to determine when a session token becomes stale and a new session ID has to be generated for the user (deleting the previous one in the process). If `:session_ttl_renewal` is set to zero, a new session token will be generated on every request. To change the amount of time a session can be alive, both the TTL for `Pow.Store.CredentialsCache` and `:session_ttl_renewal` option should be changed: plug Pow.Plug.Session, otp_app: :my_app, session_ttl_renewal: :timer.minutes(1), credentials_cache_store: {Pow.Store.CredentialsCache, ttl: :timer.minutes(15)} In the above, a new session token will be generated when a request occurs more than a minute after the current session token was generated. The session is invalidated if there is no request for the next 14 minutes. There are no absolute session timeout; sessions can be kept alive indefinitely.
