Sessions based on platform authentication

When platform authentication is used, the most common approach used is to work with the header that is already included, containing the credentials, or challenge the response as the identifier for a user's session, and to manage session expiration and logout through the application's logic; although, as stated previously, it's common to find that there is no session timeout, expiration, or logout when platform authentication is in place.

If Kerberos is used, the tokens emitted by the AS already include session information and are used to managing such session.
