ION sessions
An ION session uses a session token ID to authenticate ION requests to a device. The first ION request sends the user credentials to the device. Upon successful validation, the device creates a unique, non-transferable ION session token ID. Subsequent ION requests are validated using the ION session token ID, not the user credentials.
An ION session token ID has a fixed inactivity session timeout of 5 minutes.
There is no configuration required to enable ION sessions.
NOTE: Both the ION over TCP and ION over TLS (Secure ION) include ION session authentication.
