OrangeHRM auto logout issue

Question

I'm facing auto logout issue with OrangeHRM built with Symfony 1.2.4

What I have Tried?

I have tried to allocate max time to SESSIONS via php.ini and .htaccess

Tried after commenting following code of file /symfony/lib/vendor/symfony/lib/user/sfBasicSecurityUser.class.php

public function initialize(sfEventDispatcher $dispatcher, sfStorage $storage, $options = array())
{
// initialize parent
parent::initialize($dispatcher, $storage, $options);

if (!array_key_exists('timeout', $this->options))
{
  $this->options['timeout'] = 86400;
  //$this->options['timeout'] = 1800;
}


$this->options['timeout'] = 86400;
//$this->options['timeout'] = 2 * 24 * 60 * 60;

// force the max lifetime for session garbage collector to be greater than timeout
/*if (ini_get('session.gc_maxlifetime') < $this->options['timeout'])
{
  ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', $this->options['timeout']);
}*/
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', $this->options['timeout']);

// read data from storage
$this->authenticated = $storage->read(self::AUTH_NAMESPACE);
$this->credentials   = $storage->read(self::CREDENTIAL_NAMESPACE);
$this->lastRequest   = $storage->read(self::LAST_REQUEST_NAMESPACE);

if (null === $this->authenticated)
{
  $this->authenticated = false;
  $this->credentials   = array();
}
else
{
  // Automatic logout logged in user if no request within timeout parameter seconds
  $timeout = $this->options['timeout'];
  if (false !== $timeout && null !== $this->lastRequest && time() - $this->lastRequest >= $timeout)
  {
    if ($this->options['logging'])
    {
      $this->dispatcher->notify(new sfEvent($this, 'application.log', array('Automatic user logout due to timeout')));
    }

    $this->setTimedOut();
    $this->setAuthenticated(false);
  }
}

$this->lastRequest = time();

}

Tried to set $_SESSION['symfony/user/sfUser/lastRequest'] manually.
Tried to remain active via sending get request via AJAX.

Tried to increase session time from YML setting file located in .../symfony/apps/orangehrm/config/factories.yml

all:
  routing:
    class: sfPatternRouting
    param:
      generate_shortest_url:            true
      extra_parameters_as_query_string: true
  storage:
    class: sfSessionStorage
    param:
      session_name: PHPSESSID
      session_cache_limiter: nocache
  user:
     class: myUser
     param:
       timeout:         86000
       logging:         %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
       use_flash:       true
       default_culture: %SF_DEFAULT_CULTURE%

End Result

All of above techniques failed.

First, you should not touch files in the vendor directory !

The proper way to modify session lifetime in a symfony application is through the config.yml file. See this question for reference.

Even though this is a bit late, this will help you to extend the session timeout value. This setting is located in .../symfony/apps/orangehrm/config/factories.yml file.

There you will see the below setting,

all:
  routing:
    class: ohrmPatternRouting
    param:
      generate_shortest_url:            true
      extra_parameters_as_query_string: true
  storage:
    class: sfSessionStorage
    param:
      session_name: PHPSESSID
      session_cookie_secure: true
      session_cache_limiter: nocache
  user:
     class: myUser
     param:
       timeout:         1800 #change this value to change the session timeout interval
       logging:         %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
       use_flash:       true
       default_culture: %SF_DEFAULT_CULTURE%

The relevant value you should change is timeout parameter. Default value is 1800 seconds (30mins). If you are in the development environment, execute symfony clear cache command (in a terminal go inside the symfony folder and execute ./symfony cc) to get it working. Hope this helps!

Thanks for response. I already have tried this one but failed. Please see my update answer again. — Muhammad Hassaan, May 23 '16 at 06:40
