call.sessions.set(UserPrincipal(user.id))
Is there a way to update session? Calling sessions.set is regenerating sessionId in the cookie / store which kinda messes up our data logging.

Can you share your configuration of the installed Sessions plugin?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

You can use your own function for generating the session ID by passing it to the identity method of the CookieIdSessionBuilder or HeaderIdSessionBuilder . Here is an example:

cookie<SessionData>("session", SessionStorageMemory()) {
    identity {
        "myID"
    }
}

This way, you will control regeneration of the session ID.
