A system and method for detecting and managing user session meta-data at a reverse proxy server. The reverse proxy server is logically located between one or more origin servers and any number of users. The reverse proxy server detects the establishment and tearing down of a user session, and any expiration associated with the user session. The reverse proxy server identifies the creation of a session from the pattern and/or content of communications between a user and an origin server, and associates the user (e.g., by username or user ID) with the session (e.g., session ID or cookie). A user session table may be populated with an entry for each observed session. Tear down of a session may be detected by identifying an explicit user logout or a session termination by the origin server.
