Article summary

User Sessions

The system Control user portlet will give you information about all sessions for all active users. This is a great way for an administrator to look into things if, for example, a user reports problems of some kind with a session.

Pressing the Users… button will take you to the System Control users portlet as below:

Users portlet fields

User

User name of the user that has started the session.

Name

Full name of the user.

Requester

This is the name of the requesting entity of a session.

A requester is an entity that makes a session request to the Comflow runtime engine core.

When a user logs in to the Comflow runtime environment using a browser, the portal will make a request to the Comflow runtime engine thus being a requester.

There are different requesters:

Jetspeed

PAPI (Portal API, when not using Jetspeed)

SOAP

Figure 6 displays two of the three different requesters.

Wf

This is the corresponding workflow of the Requester. The workflow in Figure 7 corresponds to a Jetspeed requestor.

Press the icon to see the workflow diagram.

Last accessed

The time of the latest system access (activity) of the user

Remote host

IP address of the host that runs the browser that is being used for accessing the Comflow runtime environment

Session id

Unique id of the session



When right clicking on a specific session it is possible to choose:
