I don’t know that we’re going to implement this and I definitely won’t use it as a precondition of administrative logout working, but it is the case that right now there’s no way with a server-side session store to actually interrogate the system to get information about active sessions by user.

With client-side this wouldn’t work well anyway unless we duplicated a lot of the information in a differently keyed fashion in a server-side store independently of the normal session storage operations.

If it were supported it would have to be optional since I don’t think it’s all that good an idea and would add overhead. It would be very hard to keep it from getting stale, probably requiring constant background activity checking for lapsed sessions, since most sessions don’t explicitly end, they just die naturally without any action that would allow the back-pointer to be cleaned up.

Basically I think it’s a bad idea but I wanted to at least track it as a known thing we’re not doing but could work on.
