session-cookies

I'm developing a web application using Codeigniter. When a user authenticates with my site I'm currently storing their 'user-identifier' in my session cookie (which I have enabled encryption on). Several of my model classes use the value in 'user-identifier' parameter of the session/cookie to make changes to properties of user accounts. My concern is that I'm wondering if it's possible for someone to take a valid codeigniter-session cookie with a user-identifier that I've set, change the user-identifier's value to the value of a different user, and make changes to another user's account. Would

I guys, I'm using retrofit and I wonder how to transparently handle the session cookie. For that I extend the given ApacheClient and use a CookieStore in the custom call to ApacheClient.execute(HttpClient, HttpUriRequest) : Client client = new ApacheClient() { final CookieStore cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore(); @Override protected HttpResponse execute(HttpClient client, HttpUriRequest request) throws IOException { // BasicHttpContext is not thread safe // CookieStore is thread safe BasicHttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext(); httpContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE,

I am trying to access the session cookie within a spider. I first login to a social network using in a spider: def parse(self, response): return [FormRequest.from_response(response, formname='login_form', formdata={'email': '...', 'pass':'...'}, callback=self.after_login)] In after_login , I would like to access the session cookies, in order to pass them to another module (selenium here) to further process the page with an authentificated session. I would like something like that: def after_login(self, response): # process response ..... # access the cookies of that session to access another

http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/cookie.shtml Session-only cookies, on the other hand, stores information in the browser memory, and is available for the duration of the browser session. In other words, the data stored inside a session cookie is available from the time of storage until the browser is closed. Moving from page to page during this time does not erase the data. How can I achieve this using Express.js ? Ivo Wetzel First off, that website is a horrible place to go. Now on to the question. What sessions actually are: Data is stored on the server side. A cookie is issued which

I want to share session cookie among domains. I have more than one domain: - 1. mydomain.com 2. mydomain.fr 3. mydomain.de 4. mydomain.da ...and many other language based Now, I have single website deployed on a server. I want to share session among the different domains on the single website. How do I achieve this? I found on web <httpCookies domain=".mydomain.com" /> but it work with sub domains (like test.mydomain.com and secure.mydomain.com ) but not for the different domains. I also tried <httpCookies domain=".mydomain." /> but by this session stopped working. Could anyone help me please?

In Rails 3 session cookie can easily decoded with base64 decoding but in Rails 4 cookies are encoded as well as encrypted. I want to know how to read rails 4 cookie which is encoded as well as encrypted(assuming we know the secret key base). Thanks, Rails 4 uses AES-256 to encrypt cookies with the key based on your app's secret_token_base . Here's the general scheme of decrypting a session cookie: calc your secret key Base 64 decode the cookie value split the decoded cookie value by '--', this will result in two parts, the first part is the encrypted data and the second is the initialization

I have access to config.action_dispatch.encrypted_cookie_salt config.action_dispatch.encrypted_signed_cookie_salt secrets.secret_key_base the full cookie string (including -- ) I see ways to do this in Rails 4 ( Rails 4: How to decrypt rails 4 session cookie (Given the session key and secret) ), but these don't seem to work in Rails 5. I have had the same problem the other day and figured out that the generated secret was 64 bytes long (on my mac), but Rails ensures that the key is 32 bytes long ( source ). This has worked for me: require 'cgi' require 'json' require 'active_support' def
