Identifying unique browsers with a Spring backend and React frontend
I am developing a web-based multiplayer boardgame, using a Spring/Java/Maven backend and React/JavaScript frontend. Since the game is turn-based, I want to identify each individual player so that I can ensure only the active player can click and I can send individual messages to each player.
We have been looking at using Spring Security, but we have been having issues with this. Identifying clients with users & passwords seems like overkill as we are not concerned about security, is there a better approach? Essentially, what is the best way to manage distinct users and then serve them with individual messages/actions?

Take the machine ip and create a user session once the user looged in. If the user again want to log in check if previous session is active.if so then decline it

@brk sure, in sudocode that makes sense, but what's the correct way to implement this in the given frameworks?

@epascarello session cookie is what I have seen other people discussing, but how does Spring implement this and send messages to individual sessions?

@saeched you want me to write the code for it? I think by now you have the idea, it will be much better for you if you pick each of the step and search how to do that

You'd do it just in the same way that you'd do with VanillaJS i.e. gather as much information as possible from the visitor such as ip address, user agent etc.
Here is a list of available thing you can gather.
https://javascriptsource.com/browser-properties/
You might then base64 encode this information so that it creates a semi unique string. This could then be put in a database from which you'd query unique entrances.
