Allow for programmatic creation/management of FusionAuth SSO session

This was created based on a customer request.

Problem

I want to create a user via the registration API, rather than self registration. I don't want to have them have to log in via the hosted login pages. But I want SSO to work after they register.

This also applies when I have one application that I want to log the user in using the Login API, but want the ability to SSO into other applications using the authorization code grant.

Solution

Add the ability to create a valid SSO session in FusionAuth. This would probably entail:

• The ability to create, update and delete an SSO session.
• Document the format of the SSO cookie that would have to be set.
• I'm sure there's other stuff.

Alternatives/workarounds

Can't think of a way to work around this in the current FusionAuth feature set.

Upvoting this via a comment on my end. Being able to manage SSO sessions would be useful for our use cases as well
