Description
@GPortas assures me dataverse.feature.api-session-auth is no longer needed, so let's delete it, especially since there's a security warning:
/**
* Enables API authentication via session cookie (JSESSIONID). Caution: Enabling this feature flag may
* expose the installation to CSRF risks
* @apiNote Raise flag by setting "dataverse.feature.api-session-auth"
* @since Dataverse 5.14
*/
API_SESSION_AUTH("api-session-auth"),
