If a user account is disabled in back-end systems: The app’s cookie authentication system continues to process requests based on the authentication cookie.

The user remains signed into the app as long as the authentication cookie is valid. The ValidatePrincipal event can be used to intercept and override validation of the cookie identity. Validating the cookie on every request mitigates the risk of revoked users accessing the app.
How does cookie based authentication work in Java?
For authentication, the key could be something like ‘username’ and the value would be the username. Each time you make a request to a website, your browser will include the cookies in the request, and the host server will check the cookies. So authentication can be done automatically like that.
