Federation
Session Cookie
A Session Cookie is the application-side session artifact used to maintain an authenticated user session over time.
Definition
A Session Cookie is a session persistence mechanism stored and protected by the application so that the authenticated state can be maintained across subsequent requests. In SSO and mobile SSO patterns, it plays an important role in preserving access continuity once federation has established trust.
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.
