This service is part of light-portal, and it is used for managing users for the light platform. Most functionalities of the light-portal need the user to be logged in.

Scope

The user login and logout will be managed by the light-spa-4j and light-oauth2 on light-portal for single-page applications. When you scale to multiple router instances, the session management will be implemented with light-session-4j.
