=== Transient sessions
|
|
|
|
{project_name} has concept of transient sessions. When transient sessions are used, there is no real user session created after successful authentication.
|
|
Only a temporary transient session is created for the scope of the current request that successfully authenticated the user. This transient session allows {project_name}
|
|
to run <<_protocol-mappers, protocol mappers>> after the authentication.
|
|
|
|
When transient sessions are used, the client application has no way to refresh or introspect the token or check if a specific session is valid.
|
|
In some situations, these actions are not needed, so you can avoid the additional overhead for persistence of user sessions.
|
|
This would mean the save of performance, memory and network communication (in case of cluster and cross-datacenter environments).
