Active Sessions

The Active Sessions tool provides an overview of the available/used database connections, and the number as well as list of currently active user sessions based on the unexpired tickets issued by the Alfresco TicketComponent.

The overview of the avaiable and used database connection is accompanied with basic information regarding the JDBC driver and URL being used, as well as configured parameters for the connection pool. Note that having this tool active and polling data from the Repository will already cause a non-zero amount of database connections to be used.

The list of logged in users shows all the user names and other details of Alfresco users (local as well as synchronised) that currently haev an associated authentication ticket that is not expired. Being listed means that the user has been active in the recent past (up to the configured ticket timeout - if the expiration has not been disabled altogether) and not explicitly invalidated the ticket by e.g. logging out of Share. It is not an indication of how many users are active in the system right at the time of looking at the list. It is possible to forcibly expire / invalidate the authentication ticket of a listed user. This will terminate any already authenticated connections for the user that is not able to immediately reauthenticate / reacquire a ticket. If SSO is used, the user will immediately acquire a new ticket on the next request. If the user is using the Share application, session data managed by that application may be used to immediately acquire a new ticket.
