Journey Manager implements a robust security architecture that ensures a secure foundation for accessing forms and applications hosted on a server. The security architecture consists of security managers that are specific components designed to perform user authenticationUser authentication is the verification of an active human-to-machine transfer of credentials required for confirmation of a user's authenticity., user authorizationUser authorization is interested in who the user is, and is used to determine what functions, actions, data, or other parts of an application the user has access to., user self-registration, and session managementSession management is the rule set that governs interactions between a web-based application and users. Browsers and websites use HTTP to communicate, and a web session is a series of HTTP requests and response transactions created by the same user. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, where each request and response pair is independent of other web interactions, each command runs independently without knowing previous commands. In order to introduce the concept of a session, it is necessary to implement session management capabilities that link both the authentication and access control (or authorization) modules commonly available in web applications..
