Which session library to use? Any suggestions?

[quote author="BrianDHall" date="1254266504"]Personally, I just use the one that comes with CI. I save my sessions in the database and...well, that's it really. It does everything I could want, and I've yet to find it lacking.

Is there anything you find missing or problematic with the default session library?[/quote]

HA! Lots!

I'm using the DX_AUTH authentication library to handle things like logging people in, and creating user accounts. It works fine on every browser out there except IE. It seems that the problem is with CI's default session management class.

I'm not the only one to notice this:

This guy noticed this too:

This guy wrote a session replacement library that forces CI to use PHP's native session management. Which is great except that DX_AUTH relies on the database portion CI's session management:

So yeah, CI_session class. Unreliable.
