The session service deals with managing sessions; this involves creating sessions, closing sessions, terminating sessions, and updating session state.
A session has a timestamp, information about the principal owning the session, and a "state" indicating whether it is actively in use, in use but passivated, or has been rendered invalid by being closed or terminated, or by expiring.
Note that this service does not deal with authentication explicitly, but may use a membership service provider to authenticate some requests.
