Deleting or Modifying Session Variables in anothersession

[drmaves]

Is it possible to delete or clear session variable from another session?

Here's my scenario.

A user opens the public part of a web site which uses an application.cfc and
the application name "abc".

\abc\application.cfc

They then access a private area of the site which is contained within a
subdirectory (bc) of the main site.

\abc\bc\application.cfc

The private area uses a different application.cfc and a different application
name - "abcbc".

The user then makes a change in a form which should ideally affect the session
variables in the first session.

Is there a way to make changes to or delete variables in another session? If
so how would I identify them?

You could make a list of the active sessions in the server scope. This will
allow you to access/modify the data from all cfm files.

I'm not sure how that would help or how to generate a list like that.

What I would need to be able to do is set the session variables in the first
session to new values using something like <cfset> so I need to know how to
address those variables. As I see it now something like <cfset session.name =
"Smith"> would only affect the current session's variable. Is there a prefix to
"session" that would identify which session it is?

first 
to 
session.name = 
prefix to 

On session start you would put each session in the server scope:
server.sessions[session.sessionid] = session

then, in the second app:
server.sessions["#first_app_name#_"&session.CFID&"_"&session.cftok en].name =
"Smith"
