Can a randomly generated session key start a support session?


Asked by Jamal Pratt on Dec 11, 2021 FAQ



Dependent upon your account permissions, one method of starting a support session is through the use of one-time, randomly generated session keys. Session keys are not used for authentication.
Indeed,
A session key is like a password that someone resets every time they log in. In SSL / TLS, the two communicating parties (the client and the server) generate 4 session keys at the start of any communication session, during the TLS handshake.
One may also ask, They simply route the customer to the appropriate team or rep and are valid for a limited time. The methods by which the B Series Appliance generates session keys are proprietary information. When your customer calls with a support request, generate a new session key from:
Similarly,
When a request arrives, it contains the username and IP address is automatically recorded. The server then uses the username, the IP address and secret key to re-generate the session Id and see if it matches with the session Id passed by the client.
In fact,
A session ID is usually a randomly generated string to decrease the probability of obtaining a valid one by means of a brute-force search. Many servers perform additional verification of the client, in case the attacker has obtained the session ID. Locking a session ID to the client's IP address is a simple and effective measure as long...
