You would have to be much more explicit about the purpose behind this. I wouldn't do it at all, but it definitely can't be anything to do with "sessions", thatv would be a total disaster. Don't even think about it.

Authentication and the session layer are entirely distinct.

I can do very little for free on list but with a basic idea of the intent I can probably make a general handwave about it.
