Node.js/Express.js session management cookie to be session cookie

Question

How can I make the connect.sid cookie itself only a session cookie instead of a persistent one?

I unsuccessfully tried

app.use(express.session({cookie: { path: '/', httpOnly: true}, secret:'eeuqram'}));

But the cookie still had the expiration timestamp.

Solution

 app.use(express.session({cookie: { path: '/', httpOnly: true, maxAge: null}, secret:'eeuqram'}));

The above worked. So by setting maxAge to be null, I did manage expressjs to use session cookies. Phew.

I guess you should accept your own answer so that topic can be closed.

I will.. it seems I have to wait for at least 24 hours before accepting my own answer.
