RedisSessionHandler.md

RedisSessionHandler

This feature has been backported from Symfony 4. The RedisSessionHandler allows to configure Symfony's Redis-based session storage handler instead of using the native one provided by Redis. Last revision: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/239a022cc01cca52c3f6ddde3231199369cf34c2

Requirements

• Symfony 3.x (the feature is native as of Symfony 4)
• Redis extension or Predis

Configuration

After installing the bundle, you have to configure proper services on your own to be able to use RedisSessionHandler.

At first, you have to define service for Redis connection. It can be done in app/config/services.yml. Configuration should look like the following:

    redis_session_handler_connection:
        class: 'Redis' # Or one of: RedisArray, RedisCluster, Predis\Client, or RedisProxy.
        calls:
            - method: connect
              arguments:
                  - 'host'
                  - 'port'

Then, you need to define a proper service for handler itself:

    redis_session_handler:
        class: Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Storage\Handler\RedisSessionHandler
        arguments:
            - '@redis_session_handler_connection'

After that, you can use newly defined session handler in the eZ Platform configuration. Typically it can be done in app/config/default_parameters.yml:

ezplatform.session.handler_id: redis_session_handler
