How does Gene Regulation.com access control works?
An access ticket will be generated by the server after your login data (account and password) have been successfully validated, containing information that will grant access to restricted areas of our site. This ticket, along with additional data, will be wrapped into a cookie and sent to your browser. This cookie does not contain any life-time or expiration information, and will thus be discarded when the session ends. The ticket itself, of course, has a limited lifespan (10 hours). If it expires, you will have to login again. Access to any of the restricted areas will be granted depending on the presence and the validity of the ticket (implying the presence of the cookie). If no ticket can be found or if the ticket is invalid, you will be redirected to the login screen (again and again, until cookie and ticket will be seen).
