Update1:

Could you give me a short example on how to manage cookies and sessions in play2? (remember me function)

Okay I think I understand the main concept behind the play authentication.

Zentasks uses sessions. I know that sessions are only stored on the server.
And sessions in play2 are already signed. Cookies are not.

What if the users wants to be logged in even if he closes the browser?

I would need to use a cookie.

What should I do?

Do I create a cookie that creates a session?

for example

  • user has a valid cookie
  • get cookie val and create a new session

Or do I completely discard sessions and only use cookies instead. Because cookies are not signed automatically by play2 , I have to do it by myself, which I did.

response().setCookie("remember",Crypto.sign(rnd) + "-" + obj.getClass().getName() + "-" + rnd,12000);

(I know I didn’t make it secure yet with the secured and http only flag)

I just don’t want to invent a new and flawed system. I hope you can clear things up for me how to make authentication secure in play2.
