Sessions are configurable in eZ Publish 5.2 by defining the session_name
setting under your siteaccess group configuration in your config/ezpublish.yml
file.
Here's a usage example:
ezpublish: siteaccess: list: - ezwebin_site - eng - ezwebin_site_admin groups: ezwebin_site_front_group: - ezwebin_site - eng match: URIElement: '1' system: ezwebin_site_front_group: session_name: <YOUR_SESSION_NAME> ezwebin_site_clean_group: database: type: mysql
For better integration between 5.2 (symfony based) kernel and legacy (4.x) kernel, injection is used to inject settings, session and current siteaccess from 5.2 into legacy using an event: kernel.event_subscriber
Injected session
When eZ Publish legacy (4.x kernel and extensions) are running via the new eZ Publish 5.2 kernel, then the Symfony session is injected into it and all session related settings in legacy is ignored.
For more details on how to configure sessions in your eZ Publish 5.2 setup, please refer to the documentation of Symfony HTTP Fundation component.
