Re: [web-devel] Happstack authentication and sessions

Yes, but besides seem overkill for what i want to do, it led to a dependency hell. On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 10:22 PM, dag.odenhall@gmail.com wrote:

How is Session management usually done in Happstack. I found two packages, happastack-auth and happastack-authentication but both seem outdated and no longer manteined (could not even get them to build).

We're working on a clientsession integration package for Happstack.  Getting sessions right is harder than it might seem, especially as we'd like to do something more interesting than a key-value store for Happstack. In the mean time, you could perhaps do something simple yourself, such as generating a session ID with the entropy package and store that in a cookie as base64. Then you can use that ID to look things up in acid-state, for example.

Have you looked at this for authentication? http://src.seereason.com/happstack-authenticate/
