[GitHub] [couchdb] Raggugga commented on issue #3836: Can cookie authentication be combined with JWT authentication?

URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/3836#issuecomment-1168571780

   For any JWT token that is valid for a logon, I want to POST to the /_session API and get a session cookie assigned WITHOUT having to provide a username/password (because I already have a valid token). Subsequently, if want to use the session cookie for data I/O without having to use the JWT token again.
   
   The reason why I'm asking is that some people from our infrastucture department had concerns about "abusing" JWT tokens as session cookies, pointing to some internet articles. I cannot take part in that discussion, not sure how "bad" that really would be. But I can somewhat understand, as, for example, MS Web Application Proxy uses an edge token for session management.
