How do you logout a user from the server in PHP?

Artis Plocins

I want to create a customisation that logs users out after a certain time of inactivity since closing Sugar in their browser (e.g. log out at night). I need this separate from Oauth token lifetimes so that APIs and the Outlook Plugin can still be configured to never log off.

I'm trying to find a way to log the current user out in Sugar using PHP. I've looked at these files and tried their logout implementations with appropriate adjustments in a custom logic hook and a custom entry point, but none have worked:

  • clients/base/api/OAuth2Api.php
  • modules/Users/Logout.php

Do you know of any method of logging out a user without using the browser?

    Thanks, that's a very helpful article in general!

    But it even says that just the table won't be enough:

    If the entries are only removed from the database table, it will only fail to re-generate the next token as soon as the current one expires, but it will not logout the users right away.

    And I believe there must be a clean method of logging a user out already available, since Sugar does that through the API and in other places. It's weird though that the same code doesn't work in an entry point or a logic hook.
