From the documentation:

Configures the session.

Options

  • :renew - generates a new session id for the cookie
  • :drop - drops the session, a session cookie will not be included in the response
  • :ignore - ignores all changes made to the session in this request cycle

Does this mean that a new session_id is generated on each request? Or how else would it be able to prevent fixation attacks?
