Summary :
When developing a JavaServer Faces (JSF) application that stores session state information on the client-side, it is essential to ensure the security of this data. According to SAP guidelines, you must encrypt client-side session state to protect sensitive information. To achieve this, you should modify the `web.xml` deployment descriptor by adding the `com.sun.faces.ClientStateSavingPassword` entry. This entry will specify the use of a password to encrypt the session state, ensuring its privacy and integrity when stored client-side. Use the outlined XML configuration to set your chosen encryption password effectively.
