KB483149: MSTRIO Close() Method Does Not Terminate the Intelligence Server Session

Principal Product Specialist • MicroStrategy

Using the MSTRIO-py wrapper, sessions remain open after using the close() method. This is a known issue with how the session cookies are being handled within the Close() method. See the Workaround section of this Kb article for a solution.

When using MSTRIO functionality to make REST API calls, a session needs to be created with the Intelligence Server. After completing your customizations, it is best practice to ensure that the session used is closed. In MSTRIO, the session can be closed by utilizing the

Close()

method, which is found in

Strategy.py

.
However, when the

Close()

method is called, the user session is still live. So subsequent calls to the Intelligence Server can still be made with the session. This is a known issue with how the session cookies are being handled within the

Close()

method.

Workaround

In logout function of the authentication.py file, add the line

cookies=connection.cookies

in the response post URL. As shown below:
