Hi Team, hopefully an easy question: Is there a convenient way to get the creation time of the session within the fetchValue method inside a session claim validator? I want to use this info to control the lifetime of a session for a specific user/session.

not inside

fetchValue

, but you could add a custom claim (which I assume you are doing) and just set it to the right date in the

createNewSession

override

basically you'd have a claim that contains the creation time of the session and the validators checking the lifetime

Maybe @DanielAtStruggly could explain the use case in more detail.

I wanna define the lifetime of a specific session by using session claim validators. The ClaimValidator should execute a check within fetchValue to determine if the session is still valid. Does that make sense?

Kind of. Why do you want to execute this check inside fetchValue?

Is there a better or preferred location to do that check?

I'd say the

validate

prop of the validator is better suited for this.

Oh damn, I totally agree, the validators should do the trick. Maybe that the reaso why the SessionClaimValidator type exists 😆 . Thanks!
