I've a dotproject that does not require security.

I know for v1 there was the patch to remember the password so it did not have to be entered each time. Has anything been done for this on v2?

Thanks a lot,

Tom.

In System Admin, go to System Configuration... at the very bottom, you can set two values that determine this.

Session Idle Time will set a maximum that you can be idle before it will ask again.
Session Max Lifetime will determine the maximum that a Session can be active for.

For example, if you set them to 7d and 30d respectively, you'll only have to put in your one a month as long as you are active in the system atleast once every 7 days.

By the way if you click login it will enter anyway.

Perfect, thanks!

Pedroa - I'm not sure of the purpose of the hack you mention.

The idea is anonymous access (not really anonymous since this kinds of access will be logged to a created user).

I am really thinking on taking this a little further, and that is, redefine the way dP displays the initial page so that instead of being a setting for the whole system (nowadays you can define the initial page for all users - normally it is the calendar), alter it to be a user preference, and combining the two, and the permissions system, create some sort of a Customer Self Service System.

I'm not sure if "minutes" is supported, but I know "hours" and "days" are.

Besides, do you really want your users having to log in every 10 minutes? I'd suggest 1h and 8h...
