When this happens, the Admin must either wait for the session to timeout, or request the end user close the session from their end. Otherwise, the session will remain in an active but inaccessible status.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote Assist APIs are protected by cookie authorization. When Remote Assist sessions are created, authorizing cookies are generated by the backend and stored in the session table, while browser cookies are stored in persistent memory on the machine. Clearing cookies before or after a Remote Assist session will not cause any problems, but clearing cookies during an active session will prevent the Admin UI from closing the active session.&nbsp;<br><br>Without access to the cookie, the end session API cannot be authorized by the backend because the cookie is no longer present in the API request, leaving the Remote Assist session in a state of limbo. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<ul>\n<li>Clearing cookies during an active session will not impact new session creation requests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New sessions created with other end user systems after clearing browser cookies will use the existing cookie if it is still valid in the backend database.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When a user clears their browser cookies, the server expects a new session to be established.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best practice is to wait to clear your cookies until a Remote Assist session is no longer active &#8211; either before the session begins or after the session ends. However, if you find yourself in this situation, some workarounds include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Request the end user to close the session from their device. This allows the session to close in the backend, and lets a new session be created to the same end user if needed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the session duration timeout to expire for the backend to terminate the session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<p>The Remote Assist agent application will not allow the end user to clear Remote Assist session cookies from the agent device.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clearing the browser cookies on the Admin side of a Remote Assist session is not recommended as it can create [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":201,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"support_category":[2852,2930,3139,3127],"support_tag":[],"coauthors":[2835],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v22.9) -
