Question:

I use module Apache::AuthCookie to protect parts of our web site by a login which creates a session cookie. I want this session cookie to expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. How can I do that?

Answer:

Module Apache::AuthCookie has already an option for that. In httpd.conf (or per directory, in htaccess.txt) you can configure the following:

PerlSetVar WhatEverSessionTimeout +30m

you may need to replace 'WhatEver' with the name of your protected section.
