In Express Sessions (in the context of React), how are session IDs typically verified?
Plz upvote if you find this helpful.
Sessions are server side files that contain user information. Sessions are not stored in the user's browser. Sessions is that when you close your browser you also lose the session. Session would not save user data in future reference.
Session Id- session id consists of the hash value of a random string. Using https only makes it more secure. You need to use http everywhere.
The SessionID is used to identify a browser with session data on the server site. Its value is generated by ASP.NET and stored in session in the web browser.
When a session is created, it generates a session id, sets it in your cookie in browser Once you make a request with a cookie, it re-builds the CookieStore and checks to make sure that the session id exists in the cache or not. If it exists, then it trusts the session. If it does not exist, then it does not trusts the session. Remember the session id is a 32 byte long value, it might be very difficult to guess an active session id that is in the cache.
