I checked that they have a table of sessions but this all encrypted.

Answer 1

That I see can do this in two ways:

1. Save some customer information currently active in the database
2. Use javascript to provide this data in real time

1st Option

These search links can help you with this:

• Django Signals - Provides a way to observe certain events such as Loggin and logout
• Link to an example of the functionality you want to run (Note: Example of code not so recent. You may need to make changes to the code version): Example of Django Signals

2nd Option

Javascript currently provides API’s for applications that require functionality that communicate in real time and may be another possibility to solve your problem by doing some checking when the user logs in and javascript communicates it to the backend.

• Library that may be useful: Socket io.
• Example of implementation of real-time communication(Note: is with the backend in Node.js but the logic may give a light): Example of real-time communication)

Answer 2

It is an asynchronous method, you can register in a template both the login as to the logout user, saving this information before calling the functions login() (records that the user has entered) and logout() (records that users have left) during the authentication process.
