Hi,

I am trying to use the HttpUseridModule but I am not able to set the  
cookie, however I can see that the request has been sent and the browser  
allows cookie.

$uid\_got $uid\_set  
- uid=4D01310AD0BA0750254E223402040303  
- uid=4D01310AD3BD0750D54FFDA202050303

Below you can see the conf that I used in the test. Is there something  
missing?

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name boo;

```
# log files
access_log /etc/nginx/logs/access.log;
error_log /etc/nginx/logs/error.log warn;

# directory
root /home/test/public_html/boo;
index index.html;

location / {
  userid on;
  userid_name uid;
  userid_domain example.com;
  userid_path /;
  userid_expires 365d;
  userid_p3p 'policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="CUR ADM OUR NOR STA 

```

NID"’;  
}

```
error_page 401 403 404 /40x.html;
error_page 500 502 504 /50x.html;

```

}

The “[example.com](http://example.com)” isn’t likely to work here unless you indeed use  
[example.com](http://example.com) hostname to access your site. Though different server\_name  
suggests you don’t.

Hi,

Is it possible to extend the cookie lifetime (expiration time for the  
cookie)?

I would like to set short periods (userid\_expires 2h) and extend that  
(for more 2 h) if the session is still active.

Regards, Flavio

Flavio,

I’m trying to do the same as you.

Have you found any solution?

I was thinking in change the expiration by myself setting the cookie  
again, but I think that this is ugly =/

Thank you,
