HTTP session - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  HTTP session is a feature of the SAP Internet Communication Manager (ICM) component. It is used to manage the communication between a web browser and an SAP system. The HTTP session is established when a user logs into an SAP system and is maintained until the user logs out or the session times out. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The HTTP session is used to store information about the user's session, such as the user's authorization level, language preferences, and other settings. This information is used to ensure that the user has access to the correct data and functions in the SAP system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the HTTP session is not secure and can be easily compromised if not properly managed. To ensure security, it is recommended that users log out of their sessions when they are not actively using them.
