## Deletion of sessions did not revoke sessions when using database session storage
|
||||
|
||||
### ADDENDUM May 30, 2025
|
||||
|
||||
As of version 2025.4, the option to store sessions in cache has been removed; sessions are now exclusively stored in the database. See our [2025.4 release notes](../../releases/2025.4#sessions-are-now-stored-in-the-database) for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
When authentik was configured to use the database for session storage (which is a non-default setting), deleting sessions via the Web Interface or the API would not revoke the session and the session holder would continue to have access to authentik.
|
||||
|
||||
This also affects automatic session deletion when a user is set to inactive or a user is deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
The session backend is configured via [this](../../install-config/configuration/configuration.mdx#authentik_session_storage) setting; if this settings isn't set the sessions are stored in the cache (Redis), which is not affected by this.
|
||||
The session backend was configured via the `AUTHENTIK_SESSION_STORAGE` setting, which was removed in version 2025.4.
