Endrigo Antonini commented on AS7-5315:
---------------------------------------

So you are saying to use the "Disable URL rewriting" option. Is it possible on JBOSS? I made a search on the documentation and didn't found nothing. If you are saying that this is the solution, please tell me where is the documentation or how can i find it.

> I tried to find a way so I can regenerate the Session ID.
> The server generate the "sessionId" when the user open the login page. After all the "authentication process" inside the secured system, the user still have the same "sessionId".
> This is a security problem. This allow a not good intended person to hijack the user session consequently giving all permission to this person that the hijacked session has.
> The link bellow show an possible way to fix that inside the program. The problem is that this code doesn't work on JBoss.
