All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleSessionFactory
```
public interface SessionFactory
```
A simple factory class that instantiates concrete Session instances. This is mainly a mechanism to allow instances to be created at runtime if they need to be different the defaults. It is not used by end-users of the framework, but rather those configuring Shiro to work in an application, and is typically injected into the SecurityManager or a SessionManager.
