Girish Vasmatkar commented on OFBIZ-12033:
------------------------------------------
Each endpoint is eventually tied to an OFBiz service. So the simplest I could
think of was to just use the permissions that are required for the service.
So, if the userLogin has the permissions required by the service, endpoint can
be called.
Not sure if that answers your question. If you have any other thought, please
let me know.

> We're using {color:#2a00ff}userLogin {color}{color:#000000}service to
> authenticate users before generating auth tokens for REST API and GraphQL
> calls. However, we figured that a session is also getting created and
> returned in response which is defeating the purpose of having an API in
> place. Even though that session is not getting used anywhere when subsequent
> calls are made using the token, we still think it is an extra session lying
> around in tomcat's session cache. {color}
> {color:#000000} {color}
> {color:#000000}Proposal is to implement a new basic userLogin service
> (basicAuthUserLogin) that would just do username/password matching and be
> done with it without ever calling request.getSession(). This will ensure that
> APIs are stateless and no session is generated.{color}
