> Project: CXF-Fediz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: IDP, OIDC

>
> if Cookies are disabled within the Browser the servlet container (like Tomcat) will usually switch to URL rewriting, by adding the JSessionID to the URL.
> This is dangerous because users tend to copy URLs from their browser and post them in chat or public forums, thus allowing someone else to hijack their session.
> Therefor it is best practice to ensure that a sessionID will not be included within the URL.
