Handle expired authentication cookies
segevfiner opened this issue · comments
Expected Behavior
Fauxton should handle an expired session cookie and either renew it (Might not be possible since you will have to save the credentials for that) or just ask the user to login again.
Current Behavior
Fauxton still thinks you are logged and fails to access anything as it tries to access it anonymously. On a browser refresh you will be returned to the login dialog.
Possible Solution
Fauxton should detect this and either renew the cookie (Might not be possible since you will have to save the credentials for that) or just ask the user to login again without throwing random access errors or requiring a refresh.
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
- Login to CouchDB Fauxton with cookie auth enabled. (Just install CouchDB and create an admin user, that's the default auth mechanism).
- Leave Fauxton open and wait for the cookie to expire (10 minutes).
- Try and access anything requiring auth without a refresh, a DB, the config, etc. You will receive access denied errors.
Context
Just normally using Fauxton and leaving it running in the background, coming back to it later.
