How a User Session Begins

A user session begins when a user logs in and is authenticated by SiteMinder. The Policy Server issues the session ticket, which is then required for all subsequent Agent requests for that user's session. If a user is forced to authenticate again during a session because of a higher protection level, the existing session is maintained.

A session is active until it is terminated when the user logs off, when the session expires, or when an administrator disables a user, thereby terminating the session.
