Session cookie lifetime Documentation link is broken

[bjoernh]

I would like to extend the cookie lifetime (login time for user) in Plone 5. The link https://docs.plone.org/develop/plone/sessions/cookies.html#session-cookie-lifetime in the documentation is broken.

Okay, that document got lost... Let's see:

The cookie lifetime can be set in the Zope Management Interface:

• In the Site Setup go to the Zope Management Interface
• Go to acl_users.
• Go to sessions.
• Go to the Properties tab. Your url is now something like http://127.0.0.1:8080/Plone/acl_users/session/manage_propertiesForm
• Here you can set the cookie lifetime.

Does that work for you?
If so, we can add this to the documentation.

Hi is this issue still open?

[mauritsvanrees]

Let me see.

In the Plone 5 docs the page with the link is here:
https://5.docs.plone.org/develop/plone/sessions/cookies.html#authentication-cookie
It says about lifetime:

For better and more secure control over the cookie and its lifetime plone.session can be used.

And the link works.

The Plone 6 docs do not contain information about this yet, but that is a separate issue, more documentation needs to be rewritten and then included in the new docs.

So I close this.
