Steven Hawkins reopened TEIID-329:
----------------------------------



It is not sufficient to just change the session identifier.  Some attempt is needed to hide the session secret to ensure that sessions cannot easily be hijacked.

> Currently the sessionid is based upon a long sequence.  It is extremely easy to exploit and then hijack a session.  Sessionids should instead be based upon something that is hard to guess (such as a UUID) and should also be encrypted when being returned to the server or resent from the client.
