How to get JSESSIONID for Confluence?

[carlocedriclijauco]

Hello,

Is there a way to get / generate JSESSIONID from Confluence REST APIs?

Currently, for all REST API requests we always pass both username and password

Is there a way to generate JSESSIONID once, then pass this token on succeeding calls just like in JIRA?
