Sessions are configurable in eZ Publish 5 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.x (symfony based) kernel and legacy (4.x) kernel, injection is used to inject settings, session and current siteaccess from 5.x 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 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 setup, please refer to the documentation of Symfony HTTP Fundation component.
