Persistent Login (Roundcube)

Provides a "Keep me logged in" aka "Remember Me" functionality for Roundcube.

Download

You can download the plugin from the latest release tags on GitHub.

Installation

• Extract the downloaded archive into Roundcube’s plugin directory <roundcube>/plugins/ and rename it to persistent_login.

• Open the Roundcube's main configuration file <roundcube>/config/main.inc.php and add the plugin’s name to the active plugins array, e.g.:

$config['plugins'] = array('persistent_login');

Thats it. All configuration is optional.

Configuration (Optional)

Persistent Login provides two different ways of usage. User-Data cookie or AuthToken cookie based.

UserData cookie (No database extension required)

This method doesn’t require any configuration, it is enabled by default. It stores the user’s login information encrypted in a cookie.

AuthToken cookie (more secure, recommended)

This method have to be enabled in the plugins configuration file. It requires the creation of a table in your roundcubemail’s database as well. The table can be created by the SQL script in the sql/ directory of the plugin. Execute ALL statements from the SQL file.

Enable it in config: persistent_login/config.inc.php

$rcmail_config['ifpl_use_auth_tokens'] = true;

OAuth with login redirect

Persistent Login works with OAuth as-is. However, if Roundcube's automatic login redirect setting oauth_login_redirect is true, the user will not have the opportunity to select "Keep me logged in" because Roundcube sends the user directly to the OAuth server for authentication (the login screen is not shown at all).

To enable Persistent Login in this case, change Roundcube's oauth_login_redirect setting to false. In config/config.inc.php:

$config["oauth_login_redirect"] = false;

Then, enable Persistent Login's ifpl_oauth_login_redirect setting. In plugins/persistent_login/config.inc.php

$rcmail_config['ifpl_oauth_login_redirect'] = true;

The login screen will be displayed showing only the "Keep me logged in" checkbox and a button to authenticate with the OAuth server.
