Last login date (user:lastseen) does not work for desktop clients

[MaxiReglisse]

The “occ user:lastseen” command only gives the date of the last connection with the Nextcloud web application, and not the date of the last connection with a desktop client. However, some users, and the most intensive ones at that, only use the desktop client!

So how do you manage user accounts correctly, given that basic information systems security rules require unused accounts to be closed?

For example, the “occ user:lastseen” command shows that the user logged in on 14 June…

root@nextcloud:/var/www/nextcloud # sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ user:lastseen florence.bailly@univ-fcomte.fr
florence.bailly@univ-fcomte.fr's last login: 14.06.2024 07:54

... whereas the Apache2 logs show that her desktop client logged in today, on 18 June! 🤔

/var/log/apache2/access.log:172.20.20.133 - - [18/Jun/2024:14:35:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /remote.php/dav/files/florence.bailly@univ-fcomte.fr/ HTTP/1.1" 207 1252 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows) mirall/3.13.0stable-Win64 (build 20240423) (Nextcloud, windows-10.0.22631 ClientArchitecture: x86_64 OsArchitecture: x86_64)"

I think all system administrators are eagerly awaiting this correction. 😇

This request was originally made on the Nextcloud user forum.

thank you in advance for your attention.
