Thanks for suggestion but this seems too complex for such simple
thing. I will probably create a small cron script which will parse
logs and update last login datetime in DB.

Do you object backends talking to your proxies? If not, add a small

service last-update-script-service {
  inet_listener {
    port = 9421
  }
  executable = script last-update
}

and speak to it from backend? bit hackish, I agree.

Thank you again for suggestion, i, finally, decided to create a cron  
script and parse logs (which is doing MUCH less load on database as it  
is not updating datetime every login [which can mean every few seconds  
per user]).
