However, you can use certain techniques in your code to disconnect from HTTP-based channels and invalidate HTTP sessions.

Because HTTP is a stateless protocol, when a SWF file is disconnected, notification on the server depends on when the HTTP session times out on the server.

If you disagree, feel free to contact me with examples.

A lot of people think that JWT tokens are "more secure" because they use cryptography.

In this scenario, the default behavior on the server is to leave the current session in place for other applications or pages that are using the HTTP session.

Ember Simple Auth API docs Ember Simple Auth supports all versions starting with 1.12.

A lot of people mistakenly try to compare "cookies vs. This comparison makes no sense at all, and it's comparing apples to oranges - cookies are a vs. Local Storage" as well where it makes sense to do so.

When people recommend JWT, they usually claim one or more of the following benefits: , when you make the transition.

I've published a new post with a slightly sarcastic flowchart - please have a look at it before suggesting a solution. At the end of this article, I'll briefly go into those other usecases. In this particular article, I will be comparing sessions to JWT tokens, and occasionally go into "cookies vs.

With its pluggable strategies it can support all kinds of authentication and authorization mechanisms.

Basic Information Ember Simple Auth consists of 4 main building blocks - the session, a session store, authenticators and (optionally) authorizers.

It's just not worth it to implement JWT upfront, especially considering the downsides that I'll get to later. You will have to deal with session management yourself, on both the client and the server side, whereas standard session cookies , and this is no different from how JWT works.

As far as I can tell, this is just used as a buzzword.
