Federation

Authenticated Session

An Authenticated Session is the application session created after identity has been successfully validated through a federation flow.

Definition

An Authenticated Session is the local application state established after the client or service provider has validated the federation outcome and accepted the user identity. It allows the user to continue interacting with the application without restarting the full authentication exchange on every request.

The Ariovis perspective

Tokens are part of an access architecture, not a substitute for identity governance or authorization. Their scope, lifetime, validation and revocation must match the risk of the API and user journey.
