Hi,

I would like to know how Fediz "manipulates" the application's session
management.

When you browse to a Fediz-protected resource (e.g. a servlet)
Fediz "blocks" access, but a session is created nevertheless. Furthermore
a session-cookie is produced for later reference. This suggests that a
session is established between the browser of the user and Fediz. After
all: the protected resource isn't reached yet so a session cannot yet be
established with it.

After the user has logged in at his/her IDP and return to Fediz, the
session-cookie is used to establish a "session with a token" with
Fediz. Somehow this same session is now used by the protected application.

What is it that actually happens? Does the user have a session with Fediz,
or does the user have a session with the protected resource or both? The
external behaviour shows that only one session-cookie is in use.

Cheers,

Frank
