---------------------------------------
Hi [~gvasmatkar] ,
what do you think so far? Does it make sense?
I have several additional thoughts and think they should be written down together with everything else as some kind of specification sheet. It will get confusing using Jira comments for this.
Do we already have a wiki page for the REST implementation? I was not able to find some.
Thanks!

> We're using {color:#2a00ff}userLogin {color}{color:#000000}service to authenticate users before generating auth tokens for REST API and GraphQL calls. However, we figured that a session is also getting created and returned in response which is defeating the purpose of having an API in place. Even though that session is not getting used anywhere when subsequent calls are made using the token, we still think it is an extra session lying around in tomcat's session cache. {color}
> {color:#000000} {color}
> {color:#000000}Proposal is to implement a new basic userLogin service (basicAuthUserLogin) that would just do username/password matching and be done with it without ever calling request.getSession(). This will ensure that APIs are stateless and no session is generated.{color}
