I can’t tell if what I’m about to describe here is a bug or if the problem is intentional or technical behavior.
For me it is necessary to know when a user was logged in the last time. Or better said I have to identify regularly all users who have not logged in for a longer time. It does not matter to me whether a user last logged in via the Nextcloud website, one of the mobile clients (Nextcloud Talk and/or Nextcloud App) or via a desktop client.
The problem is that the login time that is displayed in the user management of the website or via the occ user:lastseen command is only correct if you assume that a user was last logged in via the website. A login via one of the other mentioned ways is apparently not taken into account.
As I already wrote, I don’t know if this has technical reasons or if it’s actually intentional or a bug. This problem has been plaguing me for many Nextcloud versions now. I have not found an answer to this and would like to have certainty.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): N
Steps to replicate it:
- Create a new test user.
- Log in the test user via the web page.
- The Nextcloud administrator will now see the correct last login date for the test user.
- Log out the test user again and let some time pass.
- Log in the test user via one of the mobile clients. (Nextcloud or Nextcloud Talk).
- The administrator still sees the same stale timestamp even though the test user was logged in.
- Now log the test user in again via the website.
- The administrator now sees the correct timestamp again.
