Describe how session authentication works.

What will be an ideal response?


Session authentication requires authentication whenever a client system attempts to connect to a network resource and establish a session (a period when communications are exchanged). Session authentication can be used with any service. The client system wishing to be authenticated is usually equipped with a software agent that enables the authentication process; the server or firewall detects the agent when the connection request is made. When necessary, the firewall intercepts the connection request and contacts the agent. The agent performs the authentication, and the firewall allows the connection to the required resource.
