Subject: Can I get the Session ID from the Security API's?

I am new to the Security API's so I apologize in advance if this is a
basic question. I assume that through the Security API's you are able to
establish an authenticated connection between the client and server.

Assuming this is true, I also assume a session ID unique to that
connection is also generated. So my question is this:

Is there any way to access the value of this session ID and associate it
with a username which can then be used to identify access rights? If it
can't be done through the Security API's could you give me some advice
as to where I can go look to get this information?
