Session unique identifiers are passed to the web API using the X-chkp-sid HTTP header option. The web API is a service that runs on the Security Management Server and enables external applications to communicate with the Check Point management database using REST APIs. To use the web API, you need to create a session with the management server by sending a login request with your credentials. The management server will respond with a session unique identifier (SID) that represents your session. You need to pass this SID in every subsequent request to the web API using the X-chkp-sid HTTP header option. This way, the management server can identify and authenticate your session and perform the requested operations. References: Check Point R81 REST API Reference Guide
