Re: editing session variables
The best approach is to use the know trick to expire the cookies when the browser closes. But this still holds that info in the session for the length of time that the session lives for, so the best thing to do is to ignore session id's and then allow the application to set a GUID for the user in session for look ups by the application. And to also look at timing out sessions for a period of 10-15 mins as well of no activity by code. There are many ways to achieve this, but the best way to achieve this is to flowchart your process and you can see potential problems that might not be though off.

Re: editing session variables
The two main ways to do this are using the coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker object, or using a structure in the application scope to track valid sessions. This has been discussed before on this list, so you should be able to find some good information. I also remember reading some good info on Ray Camden's site.

editing session variables
Hi, I want to edit the values of someone else's session variables. I have a session variable named session.user.isLoggedIn. I want to set it to 0. I have the session.sessionID. The reason I want to do this is because I want to be able to close my old session when I log in from another computer. The scenario is this. I log into computer A and my sessionID is MyApp__1. I forget to log off and go home. I input my username and password. The system tells me that I'm already logged on and asks me if I want to close my old session. If I click on Yes, the system will query the DB and based on my userID it will return my old sessionID. At the very least I want to change my session.user.isLoggedIn = 0 for sessionID MyApp__1. Afterwards the system will log me and create a new sessionID, MyApp__2 or some other ID. TIA, Won ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2. Build powerful, scalable RIAs.
