couchdb - View active user sessions -
is possible view list of active user sessions on couchdb server?
there doesn't seem mention of such feature in couch docs (http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/api/server/authn.html#api-auth-session, http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/api/index.html).
i can see nothing similar require in futon nor fauxton uis.
is possible view list of active user sessions on couchdb server?
short answer: no.
long answer: there's no such thing, really, user sessions in couchdb.
couchdb's "user session" cookies hmac of user's password salt, server secret, , time cookie created (so can tell when expires).
this means "active session" cookie contains valid hmac composed valid user salt, valid user cookie, , timestamp less n minutes in past (where n expiration time).
these sessions don't have created on couchdb server, logging auth requests not sufficient. it's common practice in situations create these cookies in app external couchdb.
as followup question:
why interested in listing active sessions? maybe there's alternative approach accomplish whatever you're aiming for.
