Details

  • &$reason: (string) rejection reason to be logged
  • $info: SessionInfo being validated
  • $request: WebRequest being loaded from
  • $metadata: (array|false) metadata array for the Session
  • $data: (array|false) data array for the Session

This hook is used to validate the current request against session metadata added by the SessionMetadata hook. To reject the session, set $reason and return false.

A SessionProvider checking metadata for its own session does not need this hook; it should use its refreshSessionInfo() method instead.
