Steven Hawkins closed TEIID-329.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Done

changed back to a long session identifier.  SessionToken is responsible for holding the session secret.  also ensured that session tokens were not leaked to the clients in any other way than logonresult.

> 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.
