How does the webapp manage sessions and security credentials for the remote HTTP API right now?
We know we need to do something for this for UUF .. we delayed it as a temporary measure. IIRC also we've had issues previously with session timeout mismatches and with security creds being not carefully handled so we need to make sure this is done right (or at least better) this time. So, what do you guys do right now for these two aspects of making a remote call from the server? Sanjiva.
