persistent login was created by Reitano

Hi, is it possible with JBackend after athentication have a persistent login?
For example: user log-in with username and password, butI want the user to not log in again when close the App on smartphone and after re-open the App.
How i can make this?

thanks

Hi,
standard Joomla session is based on cookies, but jBackend adds support for session_id (i.e. you can pass the session id as request param or in the header), as documented here:

www.selfget.com/documentation/jbackend-joomla30/user-module-api.html

So you can use this to reuse a session if it is not expired yet (of course the session lifetime is a Joomla global configuration parameter).

Kind regards,
Luigi

Regards,

Is it possible to obtain the session_id at the time of the login?

That would avoid making another call to the server

Thanks in advance for your reply

Hi Solón,
sorry but you already have the session_id in the response:

{
    "status": "ok",
    "userid": "887",
    "username": "manager",
    "session_id": "v6tgn88v2t9e82i2i1onkfqjpu"
}

Kind regards,
Luigi

Hi Luigi,

It is right. I was working with an outdated version of JBackend. I respectfully suggest update the documentation.

Thank you very much,

Solon
