By default applications in SLB Digital Platform work with the latest set context by the user.
However, an application providing a niche capability and not connected to other applications, could support multi-context behaviour if required. To enable such behaviour-
- An application could store the user context information locally at the time of launch. Any subsequnet calls could be made in this context only.
- Application could allow user to switch to a different context in another browser/tab without impacting the operations started in previous window/tab/browser.
- A call to context service is required only to get latest set context of the user.
- Application could allow user access as long as they have a valid subscription.
- Application will have to build workflows to expire cache/cookie values to prevent unauthorized access.
