54 <P>An FS::session object represents an user login session. FS::session inherits
55 from FS::Record. The following fields are currently supported:</P>
57 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_sessionnum_%2D_primary_key">sessionnum - primary key</A></STRONG><BR>
59 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_portnum_%2D_NAS_port_for_this_session_%2D_see_FS%3">portnum - NAS port for this session - see <A HREF=".././FS/port.html">the FS::port manpage</A></A></STRONG><BR>
61 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_svcnum_%2D_User_for_this_session_%2D_see_FS%3A%3As">svcnum - User for this session - see <A HREF=".././FS/svc_acct.html">the FS::svc_acct manpage</A></A></STRONG><BR>
63 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_login_%2D_timestamp_indicating_the_beginning_of_th">login - timestamp indicating the beginning of this user session.</A></STRONG><BR>
65 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_logout_%2D_timestamp_indicating_the_end_of_this_us">logout - timestamp indicating the end of this user session. May be null,
66 which indicates a currently open session.</A></STRONG><BR>
71 <H1><A NAME="methods">METHODS</A></H1>
73 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_new">new HASHREF</A></STRONG><BR>
75 Creates a new session. To add the session to the database, see <A HREF="#insert">insert</A>.
76 <P>Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it
77 points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the <EM>hash</EM> method.</P>
79 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_insert">insert</A></STRONG><BR>
81 Adds this record to the database. If there is an error, returns the error,
82 otherwise returns false. If the `login' field is empty, it is replaced with
85 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_delete">delete</A></STRONG><BR>
87 Delete this record from the database.
89 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_replace_OLD_RECORD">replace OLD_RECORD</A></STRONG><BR>
91 Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error,
92 returns the error, otherwise returns false. If the `logout' field is empty,
93 it is replaced with the current time.
95 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_check">check</A></STRONG><BR>
97 Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid session. If there is
98 an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert
101 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_nas_heartbeat">nas_heartbeat</A></STRONG><BR>
103 Heartbeats the nas associated with this session (see <A HREF=".././FS/nas.html">the FS::nas manpage</A>).
105 <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_svc_acct">svc_acct</A></STRONG><BR>
107 Returns the svc_acct record associated with this session (see <A HREF=".././FS/svc_acct.html">the FS::svc_acct manpage</A>).

116 <P>Maybe you shouldn't be able to insert a session if there's currently an open
117 session on that port. Or maybe the open session on that port should be flagged
118 as problematic? autoclosed? *sigh*</P>
119 <P>Hmm, sessions refer to current svc_acct records... probably need to constrain
120 deletions to svc_acct records such that no svc_acct records are deleted which
121 have a session (even if long-closed).</P>
