instance method `validate_nonce`

Ruby on Rails 6.0.6

Since v2.3.18

Available in: v2.3.18 v3.0.20 v3.1.12 v3.2.22.5 v4.0.13 v4.1.16 v4.2.9 v5.2.8.1 v6.0.6 v6.1.7.10 v7.0.10 v7.1.6 v7.2.3 v8.0.4 v8.1.2

Compare with:

validate_nonce(secret_key, request, value, seconds_to_timeout = 5 * 60)

Might want a shorter timeout depending on whether the request is a PATCH, PUT, or POST, and if the client is a browser or web service. Can be much shorter if the Stale directive is implemented. This would allow a user to use new nonce without prompting the user again for their username and password.

Parameters

secret_key req
request req
value req
seconds_to_timeout opt = 5 * 60
