What is the default Django session lifetime and how to change it?
Question:
I can’t find a setting for the default session lifetime in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/settings/.
I know this can be changed manually (How to expire Django session in 5minutes?).
Answers:
The setting you are looking for is SESSION_COOKIE_AGE, the default value is 1209600 which is two weeks, in seconds.
You can change the default Django session lifetime by setting SESSION_COOKIE_AGE to "settings.py" as shown below. By default, SESSION_COOKIE_AGE is 1209600 seconds(2 weeks):
# "settings.py"
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 180 # 3 minutes
Default: 1209600 (2 weeks, in seconds)
The age of session cookies, in seconds.
