How to set the session timeout in passportjs? #158

I want to set a session timeout after log in using passportjs. How to set the maxAge for the session using passportjs. What is the default max age for the session that passportjs provide?

That is handled via Connect's session middleware, so for example:

.use(connect.session({ secret: 'keyboard cat', cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }}))

The documentation has other useful bits that are worth reading for understanding session handling.

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  req.sessionOptions.maxAge = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // 24 hours,
  next()
})

Refer to #Per-user sticky max age https://github.com/expressjs/cookie-session
