Michael Brohl commented on OFBIZ-12033:
---------------------------------------
Thanks, [~gvasmatkar] ! I'll try this out by implementing some test scenarios.
What about the initial question:
How do we assign the valid user login(s) to different REST endpoints? We
certainly don't want to let *any* UserLogin be using the endpoints (see below).
There can be dfferent scenarios:
* the assignment is implicit because of some registration (also through the
REST API, e.g. in an app)
* the assignment is configured in the backend (manually created UserLogins)
> Separate login service for API calls

> 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}
