And you understand that authentication and session tracking are two
different things?

The session ID can be a hidden form parameter.

hidden controls
    Authors may create controls that are not rendered but whose values are 
submitted with a form. Authors generally use this control type to store 
information between client/server exchanges that would otherwise be lost due to 
the stateless nature of HTTP (see [RFC2616]). The INPUT element is used to 
create a hidden control.
