💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Adding middleware instead of app in INSTALLED_APPS

Forgetting to add the sessions app

You must add 'django.contrib.sessions' to INSTALLED_APPS to enable session support.

Complete the code to add session middleware in Django settings.

Django

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.[1]',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using AuthenticationMiddleware instead of SessionMiddleware

Forgetting to add session middleware

The session middleware is 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'. It manages session data on requests.

hard

Fix the error in the session engine setting to use database-backed sessions.

Django

SESSION_ENGINE = [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'django.contrib.sessions.backends.db'

B'django.contrib.sessions.backends.file'

C'django.contrib.sessions.backends.signed_cookies'

D'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using cache or file backend instead of db backend

Missing quotes around the string

To use database-backed sessions, set SESSION_ENGINE to 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.db'.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to configure session cookie settings for security.

Django

SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = [1]
SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY = [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ATrue

BFalse

C'True'

D'False'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using string 'True' instead of boolean True

Setting these values to False reduces security

Setting SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE and SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY to True helps protect session cookies.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a session dictionary comprehension filtering keys starting with 'user_'.

Django

filtered_sessions = {k: v for k, v in request.session.items() if k[1]'user_') and v[2] 0 and isinstance(v, [3])}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A.startswith(

B>

Cint

D==

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '==' instead of '.startswith(' for key check

Using wrong comparison operators

Using wrong type in isinstance

This comprehension keeps session items where the key starts with 'user_', the value is greater than 0, and the value is an integer.
