Package com.epicentric.authentication.autologin Description

Provides auto-login functionality, so that users do not need to re-enter their authentication credentials (like username and password) when returning to a Vignette Portal site. The auto-login feature can be enabled and disabled from the administration console. An expiration interval for this feature can also be configured from the administration console, forcing users to reauthenticate after the specified number of hours has elapsed.

When the auto-login feature is enabled, a unique auto-login ID is generated and stored in the user's cookie. The expiration time, based on the administrative setting, is also stored in the cookie. Each time a user is automatically logged in, a new auto-login ID and expiration time are set in the cookie. When the expiration time in the cookie has expired, the user is presented with the login page on the next visit to a Vignette Portal site,
