[Midas] authenticated access

[Mona Wong]

	Yes, Annio will be on the same server as Midas is running from.  I'll give the "useSession" a try.

	Thanks again Zach!

cheers,
Mona

So the question is, how is Annio going to write data back into Midas?  If the application is running in the same place as Midas, you should be able to just pass useSession to the web API assuming the user's session is still active.  That seems to me that it would work because Annio is an HTML5 application and is running in the browser, so it would have all of the same session cookies from the Midas instance.
