If a user is already logged in and tries to login again in a new instance I'd like it to log out the other user instance. I don't want the same user to be logged in twice on my application.
Currently the session is stored in a Redis store, i'm using express / connect to handle the session storage. One of the functions available which could be used to destroy the session is as follows:
.destroy(sid, callback)
However I need to find that session id before I call .destroy(). In Redis the username is stored as a part of the session.
Question: Is it possible to query Redis to obtain the session id based on the username?
Best Answer
req.sessionID
will provide you the session's ID, where req is a request object.
