Overview

This node stops a specified session in a system that manages sessions, such as a web or application session manager. It is useful for scenarios where you need to programmatically terminate active sessions, for example, to log out users, free up resources, or enforce security policies.

Use Case Examples

  1. Stopping a user session after a period of inactivity.
  2. Terminating a session when a user logs out manually.
  3. Automatically stopping sessions during system maintenance.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The name of the session to stop. This is a required string input that identifies which session should be terminated.
Request Options Optional settings to control the HTTP request behavior when stopping the session, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • stoppedSession - Details or confirmation of the stopped session returned by the operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key or authentication token to access the session management system's API.

Troubleshooting

  • If the session name is incorrect or does not exist, the node may return an error indicating the session could not be found. Verify the session name input.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow to respond; adjust the timeout setting in Request Options accordingly.
  • SSL certificate validation errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this reduces security.
  • Proxy configuration errors can prevent the request from reaching the server; ensure proxy settings are correct if used.
