How to logout a user in Symfony2

Question

I need to force logout a user after his account have been changed in a user management.

The only example I've found is how to logout a current user

$this->container->get('security.context')->setToken(null);

whereas I need to logout an arbitrary user.

You cannot do that if you're using a native php session handler. Otherwise, it is possible to do that if you store sessions in database, see PdoSessionHandler to Store Sessions in the Database
