You basically have to initialize a new security context for every HTTP
request. This sucks. You can avoid this only by creating a
"session". Traditionally that means "use cookies". Or you could
implement one of several proposals for "session continuation" based on
session IDs and per-request/response MACs binding requests/responses
to sessions.
