If you set $config['sess_expiration'] = -1; then you will not permit to pass the login page.
so if you have any update then please give so..

@Zoran : It works for me. I have used database to handle the session. If I’m logged in, i can browse the pages fine but when the browser closes, it doesn’t. Are you using db to handle the sessions ?

Nope, it doesn’t work, it wont let me login at all if i put the sess_expiration to -1 and if have been logged in and try to set it to -1 while i am logged in, it logs me out.

Hmm… you sure about this? I will have a look now and try it, cause i have been mucking around with the session class and i think it’s the most complete class in CI, very useful, but will let you know if this tip of yours works well
