Detailed Description

An ImmutableSessionProviderWithCookie doesn't persist the user, but optionally can use a cookie to support multiple IDs per session.

As mentioned in the documentation for SessionProvider, many methods that are technically "cannot persist ID" could be turned into "can persist ID but not changing User" using a session cookie. This class implements such an optional session cookie.

Since: 1.27

◆ __construct()

MediaWiki\Session\ImmutableSessionProviderWithCookie::__construct ( $params = [] )

Parameters

array

$params

Keys include:

sessionCookieName: Session cookie name, if multiple sessions per client are to be supported.
sessionCookieOptions: Options to pass to WebResponse::setCookie().

Member Function Documentation

◆ canChangeUser()

MediaWiki\Session\ImmutableSessionProviderWithCookie::canChangeUser ( )

Indicate whether the user associated with the request can be changed.

If false, any session passed to self::persistSession() will have a user that was originally provided by self::provideSessionInfo(). Further, self::provideSessionInfo() may only provide sessions that have a user already set.

If true, the provider may be passed sessions with arbitrary users, and will be expected to manipulate the request in such a way that future requests will cause self::provideSessionInfo() to provide a SessionInfo with that ID. This can be as simple as not passing any 'userInfo' into SessionInfo's constructor, in which case SessionInfo will load the user from the saved session's metadata.

For example, a session provider for OAuth or SSL client certificates would function by matching the OAuth headers or certificate to a particular user, and thus would return false here since it can't arbitrarily assign those OAuth credentials or that certificate to a different user. A session provider that shoves information into cookies, on the other hand, could easily do so.

Access:\n protected For use by \MediaWiki\Session\SessionBackend only

Returns: bool

◆ getSessionIdFromCookie()

MediaWiki\Session\ImmutableSessionProviderWithCookie::getSessionIdFromCookie ( WebRequest $request )

protected

Get the session ID from the cookie, if any.

Only call this if $this->sessionCookieName !== null. If sessionCookieName is null, do some logic (probably involving a call to $this->hashToSessionId()) to create the single session ID corresponding to this WebRequest instead of calling this method.

Parameters

WebRequest $request

Returns: string|null

◆ getVaryCookies()

MediaWiki\Session\ImmutableSessionProviderWithCookie::getVaryCookies ( )

Return the list of cookies that need varying on.

Returns: string[]

◆ persistSession()

MediaWiki\Session\ImmutableSessionProviderWithCookie::persistSession	(	SessionBackend	$session,
		WebRequest	$request )

Persist a session into a request/response.

For example, you might set cookies for the session's ID, user ID, user name, and user token on the passed request.

To correctly persist a user independently of the session ID, the provider should persist both the user ID (or name, but preferably the ID) and the user token. When reading the data from the request, it should construct a User object from the ID/name and then verify that the User object's token matches the token included in the request. Should the tokens not match, an anonymous user must be passed to SessionInfo::__construct().

When persisting a user independently of the session ID, $session->shouldRememberUser() should be checked first. If this returns false, the user token must not be saved to cookies. The user name and/or ID may be persisted, and should be used to construct an unverified UserInfo to pass to SessionInfo::__construct().

A backend that cannot persist sesison ID or user info should implement this as a no-op.

Parameters

SessionBackend	$session	Session to persist
WebRequest	$request	Request into which to persist the session

◆ persistsSessionId()

MediaWiki\Session\ImmutableSessionProviderWithCookie::persistsSessionId ( )

Indicate whether self::persistSession() can save arbitrary session IDs.

If false, any session passed to self::persistSession() will have an ID that was originally provided by self::provideSessionInfo().

If true, the provider may be passed sessions with arbitrary session IDs, and will be expected to manipulate the request in such a way that future requests will cause self::provideSessionInfo() to provide a SessionInfo with that ID.

For example, a session provider for OAuth would function by matching the OAuth headers to a particular user, and then would use self::hashToSessionId() to turn the user and OAuth client ID (and maybe also the user token and client secret) into a session ID, and therefore can't easily assign that user+client a different ID. Similarly, a session provider for SSL client certificates would function by matching the certificate to a particular user, and then would use self::hashToSessionId() to turn the user and certificate fingerprint into a session ID, and therefore can't easily assign a different ID either. On the other hand, a provider that saves the session ID into a cookie can easily just set the cookie to a different value.
