`loginToken` is validate by the `check(Token $token, $login)` method

`loginToken` must match a public url with method `POST` and a couple of login/password
on successfull login, the session id must be transmit to the client.
On successfull login, the session id must be transmit to the client.
`sessionToken` is valid only if the session can effectively be loaded, and the
