When users authenticate with Open.IdentityServer, a session is created to track the logged in user. By default this will be done by storing this state in cookies in the user browser. This approach of storing session state in a cookie can work well for many scenarios but does have some drawbacks.

* **No Tracking Active Sessions** - There is no way to track active sessions, and how many users are currently logged in.
* **No Immidiate Revocation** - There will be no process of immidiate session revocation on the serevr ad a session cookie will be valid till it expires, or they log out.
