FR: Add a "Remember my login" function #435

Closed svenihoney closed 3 years ago

svenihoney commented 4 years ago

Entering the password every time docspell is opened is cumbersome. A functionality to remember the successful logon would make the login process much more pleasant if used multiple times throughout the day.

Yes true! Would be nice to decide this per session. As a current workaround when using it at home, you could set the session time to some high value in the config file of the restserver, like docspell.server.auth.session-valid = 7 days for example (it is set to 5 minutes by default). Then all sessions are valid for this period (the user can't decide this currently).

it took me quite a while to figure this out and I was quite annoyed! Maybe you could think of setting it to 60 minutes or at least 15 minutes?

You mean the default session time? I could set it to 15min. But if the browser is open, then the client should ask for a new token every 4 minutes (or so) and so never timeout. It's only if you close the browser, no?
