Extend Liferay session from an external application

[9年前 に Ritabrata Mukherjee によって更新されました。]

Hello,
We are opening an external web application from our Liferay 6.1 portal navigation menu, in the same browser tab. The user will navigate to this application and keep working there. During that time, we need a mechanism to keep the Liferay session alive (extend that session) from that external site.

Are there any standard mechanism for session keep-alive / extend in Liferay which we can use for this ? For example, a Liferay URL which can be invoked by that external application through a heartbeat message etc. Please comment if you have done anything similar, or best practices.

FYI - There are no external security systems like CAS or Siteminder. And Liferay portal has a 15 minute session timeout set.

Thanks !
Rito

Liferay has a heartbeat mechanism, but I'm not sure you can actually include it, it's going to be based upon cookies bound to that server, not yours.

David,
Do you have any documentation/references on the heartbeat mechanism you mentioned ?

Also, I was thinking if the external application can hit a URL to a static file on Liferay (being on the same browser) and would that extend the portal session ?

Thanks,
Rito

Nah, won't work. It's the full package, the incoming cookies, etc., that go in w/ the browser request. So even if you could rig something up using JS, I don't think you can access someone else's cookies, someone else's server/url... All kinds of cross browser scripting issues that may pose you problems.

As far as the url goes, it's just http://myhost[:myport]/portal/extend_session

Thanks, we will try with the session extend URL.
