How do we reset or update the ai_session cookie every time the user login? I am totally new to this and am not sure where I need to do this?

tried
appInsights.context.session.id = guid.toString();

@MSNev

You almost have it, this should do the trick

appInsights.context.session.id = guid.toString();
appInsights.context.session.update();

@jvrakesh

It complains about the property update does not exists. am I missing something?

Research direction

The issue only identifies the appInsights.context.session.id entry point and a missing session.update() method; no repository file or test is named. Start by checking the session API implementation and its documentation to determine whether login-time reset is supported. Done means the supported behavior and any required API change are clearly established and verified.
