_progress._Client-Session

This table records a client authenticated session information. It stores information about the client session and the methods used to authenticate the client. Its primary purpose is to provide additional information for auditing for the purposes of non repudiation, i.e. to provide extra information as to exactly who the user was. This table is part of a blank empty database as it has other uses beyond auditing. When used for auditing, the client session UUID will be used to associate the authenticated client session with the audit events. An authenticated client session may not always be available when recording auditing events, e.g. in the case of an appserver connecting to a database outside of the context of an authenticated session. The data in this table can be sealed with a Message Digest or MAC for non-repudiation. Note that the data in this table must be copied to the archive database as part of the archive process, but the contents will not be deleted as part of the same process as the client session information could be used for other purposes than auditing.
