# Apache::Session::Generate::ModUsertrack(3pm)

mod\_usertrack for session ID generation

## NAME

Apache::Session::Generate::ModUsertrack - mod\_usertrack for session ID generation

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Apache::Session::Flex;
  tie %session, 'Apache::Session::Flex', $id, {
      Store     => 'MySQL',
      Lock      => 'Null',
      Generate  => 'ModUsertrack',
      Serialize => 'Storable',
      ModUsertrackCookieName => 'usertrack', # optional
  };
```

## DESCRIPTION

Apache::Session::Generate::ModUsertrack enables you to use cookie tracked by mod\_usertrack as session id for Apache::Session framework. This module fits well with long-term sessions, so better using RDBMS like MySQL for its storage.

## CONFIGURATION

This module accepts one extra configuration option.

- ModUsertrackCookieName

  Specifies cookie name used in mod\_usertrack. `"Apache"` for default, so change this if you change it via `"CookieName"` directive in mod\_usertrack.

## LIMITATION WITHOUT MOD\_PERL

This module first tries to fetch named cookie, but will in vain **ONLY** **WHEN** the HTTP request is the first one from specific client to the mod\_usertrack enabled Apache web server. It is because if the request is for the first time, cookies are not yet baked on clients.

If you run scripts under mod\_perl, this module tries to steal (not yet baked) cookie from Apache request notes.

See Apache for details.
