Django Sessionprofile

Keep track of Django user sessions.

django-sessionprofile is a library to track which user a django session belongs to. Possible useful scenario's for this information include:

• Single-Sign-On (SSO) between different applications that can read Django's session cookie (same-origin setup)
• Single Logout (SLO) initiated in another application, triggering logout in yours
• Audit trail and security - allowing you to manage user sessions on other devices.
