What is the difference between client ID and user id?
The User ID has the same objective as the Client ID: to identify visitors on your site. However, it aims to recognise users across different browsers and devices, by giving each of them unique IDs. By default, Google Analytics will only have the Client ID set up.
What is a client session ID?
A session ID is a unique number a server assigns to requesting clients. ID stands for identifier and is used to identify and track user activity. In computer science, a session is a temporary connection between server and client.
Can session ID be reused?
Session IDs should also not be used for other purposes such as creating unique file names and they should also not be re-assigned to other users once the original user has logged out or otherwise quit the application. Allowing session ID reuse increases the risk of replay attacks.
Why does the session ID changes in every request?
14 Answers. When using cookie-based session state, ASP.NET does not allocate storage for session data until the Session object is used. As a result, a new session ID is generated for each page request until the session object is accessed.
How is the session id sent securely to the client?
Once the user is authenticated, the server creates the Session ID and sends it to the client (user) in the form of a cookie. This cookie is then subsequently used in requests the client sends to the server to identify himself among other users.
Can a session ID be decrypted without a certificate?
They can not decrypt data because the connection between client and server is secured by a verified third party.so HTTPS without verified certificate means server and user can not make sure that session ID is not sniffed.
How are client sessions stored in a stateless server?
The client session is stored on the client. The server is stateless means that every server can service any client at any time, there is no session affinity or sticky sessions. The relevant session information is stored on the client and passed to the server as needed.
Why is there no need for server sessions?
There is no need for server sessions because the request has everything it would need to retrieve the data: authentication and the URI. As noted above, the client-side application itself calls the REST services along with the authentication that it manages on the client side as well.
