Sessioning
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to implement sessioning on Zope
2? Basically to set browser timeouts for the user so logout after say 20
mins of inactivity. The difficulty we've had previously is detecting
what exactly 'inactivity' is...
Cheers

Take a look at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.session

It's a PAS plugin that uses signed cookies rather than server side
sessions. These cookies are timestamped and have an expiration timeout
after which they are considered invalid. When you use a short timeout
then there is some javascript that will update the cookie periodically
while the user is active on the page.
