Is it possible to terminate designer sessions from the Gateway webportal like Vision clients can be terminated?

I have some hanging designer connections that we suspect are causing problems, and I realize now that the button terminate them remotely like Vision clients does not exist. Is there another way to do this?

The Vision Client section in Gateway -> Status looks like this

But the Designer section only has


no More -> Terminate

The frontend page doesn't have a means to quickly run it, but the plumbing is all in place for designer sessions; you need to issue an authenticated DELETE request to /designers/$id, where the ID is the one used for that particular session.

But like Vision, this is a cooperative session delete. All it does is send a message to the running client/designer asking it to terminate itself. If it's hung and not responsive, it's not likely to have any effect.

I see -- this would not have solved my problem, which was related to zombie connections stuck via no-longer-existant VPN tunnels. But good to know! I believe we have encountered bug IGN-7833.
