Is a 3rd party session library recommended for CI 1.6.3?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I have run across a few sources (Redux Auth & FAL) that suggests replacing CI's session library with a 3rd party library. Was this for previous versions of CI or is this still recommended for CI 1.6.3?

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, nothing's changed regarding sessions between 1.6.2 and 1.6.3.

The CI class doesn't utilise the native PHP session class, which means that (unless you use a third-party session library/plugin) if a user doesn't allow cookies in their browser, you won't be able to retrieve or set any session data. Which is annoying.

Thank you for the response! This would explain my session issues in general. Is there a 3rd party session library that you would recommend for CI 1.6.3?

Thanks!

Native sessions use a cookie as well - for the session id.
