Active sessions

The api/active-sessions endpoint has only one parameter and it only serves the DELETE request that closes the specified session.

URL
DELETE https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id>
Sample request

The following command lists the Access Control Lists (ACLs):

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/acls

The user (in this example, user1) has to be a member of a group that has read and write/perform privileges for Active Sessions (/special/active_sessions). After authentication, user1 can close the active session determined by the session ID.

curl -k --user user1 --cookie-jar /tmp/cookie https://192.168.122.194/api/authentication
curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://192.168.122.194/api/active-sessions?id=svc/rpokH8fD9kx6CaxNLznKx2/test:12 -X DELETE
Closing active sessions in a cluster environment

In a cluster environment, after authentication, user1 can close active sessions recorded on Search Minion nodes through the Search Master node's IP address.

curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://<IP-address-of-Search-Master-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id> -X DELETE

Active sessions recorded on the Search Local node can be closed only from the node itself.

curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://<IP-address-of-Search-Local-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id> -X DELETE

Active sessions recorded on the Search Minion node can be closed from the node itself, as well.

curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://<IP-address-of-Search-Minion-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id> -X DELETE

NOTE: The following scenarios are not supported:

  • Closing an active session recorded on Search Local node from the Search Master node.

Code Description Notes
400 SessionIdMissing No session ID is given in the "id" query parameter.
404 SessionCouldNotBeFound No session could be found for the given session ID. Select an ongoing session at the Active Connections page on the Web UI and give its session ID as "id" query parameter.
500 SessionTerminationFailed The session could not be terminated due to internal errors.
500 RemoteNodeInfoMissing The cluster node where the session is being recorded is missing from your primary node's configuration. For assistance, contact our Support Team.
503 SessionTerminationServiceUnavailable Session termination service is unavailable on the specific host for closing sessions. To make sure session termination service is running, login to the host CLI and issue the 'systemctl restart sessionterminationservice.service' command.
504 MinionUnavailable The minion node that is recording the session is unavailable. To get more information about the missing node, navigate to /api/cluster/status.

The body of the POST request should be the following. Note that you must refer to existing user accounts, and use their reference IDs, not their usernames.

    "name": "new-userggroup",
    "members": ["46785097158061f46c63d0", "1362061674580df4e00620d"]

Manage users locally on SPS

Contains the local users of SPS. You can use local users and groups to control the privileges of SPS local and LDAP users — who can view and configure what.

NOTE: The admin user is available by default and has all possible privileges. It is not possible to delete this user.

Local users cannot be managed when LDAP authentication is used. When LDAP authentication is enabled, the accounts of local users is disabled, but they are not deleted,

When using RADIUS authentication together with local users, the users are authenticated to the RADIUS server, only their group memberships must be managed locally on SPS.

For details, see Login settings.
