Rails 3 additional session configuration options (key, expires_after, secure)

Viewed 18644

Can someone point out what the new Rails 3.x session configuration options are?

I'm trying to duplicate the same configuration that I have in my Rails 2.3.x application.

This is the configuration that I used in the application:

#environment.rb
config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store

config.action_controller.session = {
    :key         => '_something', #non-secure for development
    :secret      => 'really long random string'
  }


# production.rb - override environment.rb for production
config.action_controller.session = {
  :key            => '_something_secure',
  :secret         => 'really long random string',
  :expire_after   => 60*60,#time in seconds
  :secure         => true #The session will now not be sent or received on HTTP requests.
}

However, in Rails 3.x, I can only find mention of the following:

AppName::Application.config.session_store :active_record_store

AppName::Application.config.secret_token = 'really long random string'

AppName::Application.config.cookie_secret = 'another really long random string'

Are there other config settings to control the key, expire_after time, and secure option?

Regarding the latter, if "config.force_ssl = true" is set in production.rb, I assume the secure option is no longer required?

Thanks very much!
