Add more information to logoff() method in user authentication
Added by Oliver Hader almost 15 years ago.
Updated about 4 years ago.
Description
The TYPO3 user authentication (t3lib_userAuth) has a method logoff() that is called at several places but has no information what kind of "logoff" happens:
- regular logoff, since user requested it (status=logout)
- automatic logoff from old session when a new frontend user logs in
- automatic logoff if session of logged in frontend user expired or no frontend user is logged in at all
Tasks:
- constants shall be integrated and added to the logoff-calls, e.g. logoff(self::LOGOFF_ByUser)
- logoff-status must be transferred to affected hooks in the logoff() method

What's the use-case for this? Is this information interesting in for logging, or do you have any extension in mind which could use that information?
As a minor change, it would candidate to get still included in 4.5, if there is still interest. Only an updated patch and one tiny +1 missing to have it ready.
In #22336 we discussed (core list) that it might be interesting for knowing the reason for a BE-logoff, maybe triggering an Exception in case the logoff was triggered by
1) a session expiration
2) invalid IP lock
3) invalid user agent
Throwing the exception would present that info to the user and provide more accurate reports from customers to their site integrators (and at the end to us TYPO3 developers).
A differenciation has to be made in the LOGOFF_OnNoUserLoggedIn condition, because 2) and 3) and also a "not logged in" case all match this condition.
So this might be a good candidate for 4.6.
- Target version deleted (

- Target version changed from 7.4 (Backend) to 7.5

Probably was not interesting enough...
