Use own Unique Id instead of Session ID

Open on Drupal.org →

Problem/Motivation

Using the SessionManagerInterface::getId() or Session::getId() no longer reliably returns and valid and non-changing session id.

Modules should not use the Session ID but rather their own internal unique identifier.

Change notice: [D9.2] Drupal uses PHP session ID generation →

Steps to reproduce

Login multiple users from multiple locations and they will all end up with the same hashed session id, which is the value of Crypt::hashBase64(NULL).

Proposed resolution

Use the recommended method of an internal unique value stored in the session instead of the session id itself.
