Force logout user without request object

[Bhaskar rao]

Hello,

I want to force logout a user without access to request object.

For this I tried to get session from user, so I tried Session.objects.all().

Its empty, even in the db, django_session table is empty.

So, any thoughts on how to do this ?

Session engine actually set to cache, so django_session is empty.

Anyway, to get session key without knowing request object.

Can you clarify the scenario, please? What do you mean by "a user without access to request object"? Users don't have access to requests. A request either has a user associated or does not.

Regarding sessions, if the user doesn't already have a session—located via cookie—how will you know which user to perform actions for?

If you are writing custom views, the login_required decorator/mixin is probably what you are seeking.
