# session-id
Generate a COUNTER compliant user ID and session ID in the fields user_id
and session_id
.
# Prerequisites
The user ID can be one of the following, by order of priority :
- the user login (default field: login)
- the cookie ID (default field: cookie)
- both the IP (default field: host) and the user agent (default field: user-agent)
The session ID is generated by concatenating the date, hour of day, and user ID.
