Exchanges a valid JWT into a new session, which is associated with the authenticated or anonymous customer. All Set-Cookie headers for handling the session are applied on the response. Only the JWT is used to create the new session. Any session IDs included in the request are ignored. Once you create a session from a JWT, you can use it in parallel with stateless OCAPI calls that use the JWT. There is no need to call the bridging resources again. If the customer is authenticated and has a storefront basket, that basket is transferred into the session and can be retrieved using BasketMgr.getCurrentBasket(), along with sensitive data such as addresses and payment information. The following examples show why this behavior is important to understand as it relates to guest customers: Basket created after the session is created: POST /customers/auth with type “guest” POST /sessions POST /baskets Storefront request (controller with BasketMgr.getCurrentBasket()) -> Sensitive data is erased from the basket due to security considerations Basket created before the session is created: POST /customers/auth with type “guest” POST /baskets POST /sessions Storefront request (controller with BasketMgr.getCurrentBasket()) -> Sensitive data is accessible because the basket is marked as secured for this session
